Draw a Path That Fits
A straight path keeps one direction; a curved path bends smoothly.
About 15 minutes, plus any extended practice
Open lesson 1Draw Lines, Shapes, Patterns, and Overlapping Pictures
Start with visible marks rather than guessing hidden meanings. A line describes a path, a boundary makes a shape, repeated pictures make a pattern, and overlap can suggest which object is in front.
Before you begin
- Recognize first and next; point to a mark or dictate a short description.
Choose by skill rather than age alone. Read with an adult when useful, revisit a lesson, or explore another grade.
