Hide and Seek 2D shapes in a 3D world!

This lesson is about finding 2D shapes (squares, triangles, circles, parallelograms, etc) in 3D buildings in our world! This lesson is created for 7th grade students studying 2D and 3D shapes.

How many different 2D shapes can you find in the buildings below?
