Math Homework April 21 - Shape Concentration Game

Dear parents,

Did you get the note about our math homework for the Easter weekend? It's a fun game called Shape Concentration.

The purpose is to practice looking at shapes and comparing them closely for their angles, length of sides, numbers of sides and dimensions, and naming them correctly.

Your child made a set of game cards and has them in a bag in their agenda. The idea is to turn the cards face down in an orderly array (suggested: 4 rows of 6 cards). Then, taking turns, each player flips two cards, and names the shape. The player must leave the shapes face up on the table so the other player can see their location. If the shapes don't match perfectly (ie. not congruent), then the cards are turned back down and the player's turn ends.

When a player successfully turns two matching shape cards, they are removed and the player scores a point, and gets to take another turn and flip two more cards.

The game continues until all the pairs of shapes are gone. The one with the most points is the winner!

Extra pairs of cards can be added to make it more challenging.
