Shape Stepping Stones

After learning about shapes, each group of students identifies and draws a shape to create on their tree cookie. Students will keep count of (tally) and take turns banging finishing nails inside the area of their shape. Upon completion of their shape of nails, students will compare and contrast the different shapes and number of nails used for each. Older students can use that data to make a picto or bar graph. Students will make sure two of the same shape are not placed in consecutive positions.
