2D Shapes Leaf Adapted Books | Fall Geometry for Special Education & Autism
These leaf themed 2D shapes adapted books provide a hands-on, visual way to support geometry and shape recognition for students in special education and autism classrooms.
Using a simple fall leaf theme, students identify 2D shapes by matching symbols to pictures while completing structured, interactive tasks with Velcro.
The predictable layout and visual supports make these adapted books ideal for learners who benefit from repetition and clear routines.
This resource is perfect for fall or autumn math activities, but can also be used all year as part of your 2D shape instruction.
Instructions
- Print out all of the pages.
- Cut out and laminate each of the pages and bind them into an adapted book.
- Cut out and laminate each of the individual symbols and place velcro onto the back of them.
- Laminate the final base – the baseboard – and add velcro onto these.
- Place the individual symbols onto the baseboard. Students choose the symbols from the baseboard to place onto the adapted book as they complete it.
