Shape Walk

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

This Shape Walk activity is to look for objects in the environment that are a particular shape. It’s best to choose a shape that will be found often in your environment. A square is a good one to start with, as it is among the most common and one of the easiest for young children to recognize. Pictures may be taken or ask students to draw the shapes they found. A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
