Geometry and Fractions

Have you read Grandfather Tang's Story? This is a story told with tangrams. You could make tangrams from cardstock or tagboard, and then make tangram puzzles for the animals in the story. As you read the story (the second time), your students could complete the tangram puzzles.
You could also use the tangrams and design A, B, C puzzles...one for each letter of the alphabet.
Geometry dominoes would also be a great idea. Make domino cards. Begin by listing all kinds of geometry words and have pictures to match each one. Examples: one half could be a square, the other half could have the word | |
rectangle, one half could be a picture of a cone, the other half could be the word rectangular prism. Be sure your words match your pictures.
You could also make dominoes for fractions. The fraction would be on one half of the card, and a picture would be on the other half. The pictures could be different shapes that are shaded to match the fractions you are using...circles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, etc.
