🎯 What You'll Learn

Learning Objectives

1

Identify and classify two-dimensional shapes

2

Describe geometric attributes of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles

3

Develop an appreciation for mathematical precision and order

📖 Scripture Connection

Proverbs 3:19

“Yahweh by wisdom founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.”

— Proverbs 3:19 (WEB)

God's creation demonstrates mathematical precision and design, just like geometric shapes have specific attributes

📦 Materials Needed

  • rulers
  • shape cards
  • protractor
  • colored paper
  • scissors
