Welcome to ShapeShire!
We love helping children explore the world and broaden their horizons and we try to do so through storytelling and humor.
We’ve tried to include a range of activities that let children of all ages engage with geometry in a playful way while learning about their emotions. You can download and print all of our activity sheets from the website and we’ve also included solutions in case you need a hand finding your way.
Here are some suggestions to get you started:
-
Starting Point Worksheet #18 – Multiplication
-
Starting Point Worksheet #17 – Subtraction & Division
-
Starting Point Worksheet #16 – Addition & Subtraction
ShapeShire Shorts
We’ve also started a new series of short tidbits of information about geometry and shapes. These are great for starting a quick talk with your kids about these topics and are very simple and to the point. I hope you find them useful!
Here are a few of them to get you started, and you can find the full ShapeShire Shorts series here:
