Details

This activity was prepared using Paint and is filed as "3Dgroups.bmp". For use on a network, this file should be installed in a shared, read only directory on the server, such as S:\2Student. After launching Paint and opening the file, students, in a large-group setting, can orally identify the shapes that appear on the screen. They then can use Paint's select tools to circle or frame a shape, drag and drop it onto a classification grid that will sort the objects by two attributes -  colour and shape.
