Use 3D shapes to create your neighborhood or a neighborhood near you. Create the model out of cardboard and include regular shapes such as cubes, cones and prisms. Create a map key of the neighborhood and label houses, businesses, streets and schools. Label all the shapes used in your model on the key.
Make a tree canopy using crumpled construction paper for the trunk and limbs. Glue onto a project board. Younger students make shapes to hang from the branches and older students make three-dimensional shapes. Label the shapes.
Create a picture using common shapes in different sizes. Count all the shapes in the picture and make an answer key. Cover the answers with a flap and write a question on the top of the flap that asks how many of that particular shape. This is an interactive project where classmates will test their ability to identify and count shapes.
