Websites for teaching and learning 2D shapes.

Posted in Maths, and Shape and Space

There is a plethora of websites which contain interactive shape games. These games act as a reinforcement and consolidation of skills. I have listed a few of these interactive games and songs below. This post id on teaching children about naming and the characteristics of 2D shapes. These games would be suitable for the junior grades.
