First I made the shapes with popsicle sticks and a glue gun.

Next Kysen and I talked about the names of the shapes and numbers.

Then he counted how many sides and corners each shape has.

Then we were ready for the game!

He had to match the number to the shape with that number of sides.

We had so much great math conversation during this activity!
