What educators are saying
It was a fun activity that we tied into solving the area of squares in tetrominoes and composite figures. The kids enjoyed putting the puzzle together.
Loved this as a team building activity in the beginning of the year! I will be using this throughout the year as a center going forward.
Description
This product can be used as a STEM center or as a small group "STEM challenge" to enhance teamwork, spatial concepts and problem solving skills.

Next, print the leveled Tetris boards and cut by color group. Lastly, have students arrange the pieces to fit into the iPad/ tablet. This product is a great math enrichment activity or for early finishers to complete individually, with a partner or in a small group setting.

CCSS1.G.A.1
Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
CCSS1.G.A.2
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
CCSS1.G.A.3
Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
CCSS2.G.A.1
Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
CCSS2.G.A.2
Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them.
