Educational Standards
Common Core
- CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.A.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
- CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.A.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
- CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.B.4 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
- CCSS.Math.Content.1.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.
- CCSS.Math.Content.2.G.A.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

The grands were not as thrilled about this one like pirates island. It had the same concept but not as exciting.
A lot of fun keeps you motivated and builds teamwork and leadership
Great game to learn basic geometry. Very thankful for the cheat sheet as well to brush up on my own knowledge and help the kids visualize what the clues mean.
I really like this game but would suggest a small introduction to what the different clues mean in a lesson form. Meaning, a supplement to teach what a plane ect mean.
Our daughter is obsessed with all of the games. I’ve never seen her so excited and engaged to learn. So brilliant! I wish they had a game for learning how to write, she’s not enjoying that so much lol
