K 3.1 a	Kinderweb - Interactive educational games geared for the beginning of the school year or preschoolers. Students practice their colors and shapes . This site is completely audio so children can work at their own pace independently. Locate triangles, circles and squares in a set of pictures Shapes - for pre-school, identify shapes and colors Story of Shapes - from Pre-School Library Shape Books - Great site that has shape book patterns for making little books and posters. You can find shapes for most of the the major themes of K such as nature, animals, transportation, holidays, insects and many others.

K 3.1 b	Shapes - (circle, triangle, square, and rectangle) - this story will read itself to you. After students are familiar with the story, you can use a version that asks your students to do the reading .
Recognize basic properties of and similarities and differences between simple geometric figures (e.g., number of sides, corners). K 3.1 c	Ask Hannah - (reading skills required) [ this link opens on a new page ] describe symmetry in two-dimensional shapes Mr. Mumble - (reading skills required) [ this link opens on a new page ] take a look at how to describe two-dimensional shapes
Reproduce and create circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles. K 3.1 d
Reproduce and create structures using three-dimensional shapes. K 3.1 e	Geo Cleo - (reading skills required) [ this link opens on a new page ] take a look at how to describe three-dimensional shapes
Combine two-dimensional shapes to make pictures. K 3.1 f	Arthur's Music Box - While the song plays you must put the squares in proper order to create a picture. There are three songs and each picture can be divided into four or nine parts. Pattern Detectives - [ this link opens on a new page ] identify and extend patterns in a variety of settings. Audio is used to assist non-readers
Recognize and show terms of relative position and direction in a variety of situations (e.g., over, under, forward, backward, between, right, and left). K 3.2 a	Over, Under, and other spatial concepts - Click and drag on the animals below to move them around the page.
