Shapes and colors are all around us. Everything we see has a shape and a color. This lesson teaches students to identify basic shapes such as circles, squares, and triangles. It combines colors with shapes so students can practice using phrases such as white circle or red no-symbol. This lesson shows well on interactive whiteboards, and it can be accessed by students at home. A PowerPoint slideshow and free worksheets are near the bottom of the page. (4-page lesson)
