Kindergarten students explored solid shapes through hands-on, playful learning. Students learned to identify and name common solid shapes (such as cubes, spheres, cylinders and cones) and to describe their attributes, including flat faces and curved surfaces. By sorting the shapes, they practiced comparing and classifying objects based on shared characteristics.

While hunting for solid shapes in the classroom, school environment and even in the kitchen with Chef Adam (!!), students made connections, recognizing that shapes exist all around them and serve different purposes. Using styrofoam solid shapes to build structures, they experimented with balance, stability and designs. Throughout these activities, students also developed mathematical language, collaboration skills and the ability to explain their thinking.
