So, I created these interactive clip cards for students to practice shape identification and identify real-world objects that match those shapes.

How to Use the Shape Clip Cards
Students will pick a card and look at the shape printed on the card. Then they will identify the real world object that matches that shape. Lastly, they will clip or mark their answer.
Don’t want to use clothespins? Slide the cards into wipe and write pockets and use dry-erase markers to circle the matching object. Or use mini erasers to mark the correct object. There are lots of ways to change it up!
How to Use this 2D Shapes Math Activity
This shape matching activity would be so beneficial for multiple levels of students. Your beginning mathematicians can practice just the basic shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle).
While more advanced learners can work on some of the other shapes like an oval, octagon, hexagon, and pentagon. They can also work with a recording sheet to draw the corresponding shape.
These shape clip cards are super versatile and can be used to meet your instructional needs and the needs of your students developmentally.
You can incorporate these into whole group lessons, small group lessons, math centers, and early finishers, or use them for independent practice, morning work, or math warm-ups.
