About Shape Bingo

What's the math in this game?

This game helps children connect shape names, like “hexagon” and “triangle,” with what the shapes look like. As children search their Bingo Cards for a particular shape, they are identifying the shape in all different configurations (e.g., flipped and rotated). This helps children recognize that a shape is a shape because of its attributes. For example, a triangle is a triangle because it has three straight sides, even if it’s upside down!
