How Many Squares and Share for a Chance to Win Contest

5/14/2014

Hello everyone. I decided to share with you one of my favorite math activities. It is a thinking activity.
The idea is to count the squares. That sounds easy enough, right? Well, it may not be as easy as it sounds.
This activity is not new. I have seen it with fewer squares. Yet, I have never seen it with this many. So, I created this particular learning page.
I think this activity is fun anyway. However, in order to make it even more fun, I am going to make a contest out of it. If you would like a chance to win ONE HOUR of ONLINE TUTORING and/or one of my educational children's books for FREE, then correctly tell me how many of squares and send me a link of where you are sharing the link to my online tutoring services. Good luck! I will choose a name from all eligible entries, which are those who contain the correct number of squares and a link to where you have shared my tutoring page, on June 1st. You will be able to choose which prize you would like.

Basic Shapes Learning Sheet for Developing Creativity and Fine Motor Skills

Hello everyone. You may have noticed that I have not blogged in a couple of weeks. Life has thrown me for a loop. However, I am back. I may have to change things around a little and prioritize the use of my time a little more. Yet, I will tell you more, as I know more.
     I am applying for some teaching positions in the lower grades. One is for a preschool teaching position. So, I thought that it would be fun to include some preschool and kindergarten learning pages.
     Today, I am sharing an activity page on basic shapes. I think there is so much that you can do with basic shapes. Here is an activity page that makes a car from basic shapes. Children can color the page. They can count the number of various shapes. Also, it may be fun to give children some shapes and see if he or she can copy the design with the given shapes. If you want to get more creative, give children shapes and have them design their own cars with the shapes.
This is a great way to teach shapes, creativity, and fine motor skills. I know I used to enjoy creating things with shapes. Well, sometimes I still enjoy creating things with shapes. LOL! Enjoy!
Please, check out more of the activity/learning sheets at DUO Education on the "Sample Educational Activity Sheets" page.

Please don't forget to get your chance to win one free hour of online tutoring! Click here for details. Thank you!
