If you’re looking for a hands-on 2D shape activity with the added benefit of creating an educational and colourful classroom display, then our Snapping Shapes resource is just what you need!   Students will have the opportunity to develop their shape knowledge as they cut and collage images of real-world 2D shapes inside a shape picture frame. This resource includes templates for the following shapes:

1. Triangle
2. Circle
3. Oval
4. Square
5. Rectangle
6. Blank: to create a shape collage of your choice.

  In addition to detailed instructions, this resource also includes a colourful banner, enabling you to turn your students’ completed collages into a purposeful display.   Please note that in order to complete this task, students will need access to newspapers, brochures or magazines to locate and cut pictures from. Alternatively, students can draw images of real-world 2D shapes inside their frames.
