It provides a variety of simple shape matching tasks that younger students can use to practice matching for instruction and then for independent work systems.
Watch as your students gain independence as they practice matching shapes with these independent work tasks. These task boxes – shapes themed – are colorful and engaging to keep students focused. Each task focuses on matching common shapes.

These independent work tasks are great for preschool or kindergarten center work, independent work systems or structured work systems with autism or in special education, and for any time that students need to be engaged on their own. These matching shapes tasks were specifically designed to be used in independent work systems with clear beginning and endings and with clear directions of the task involved.
Try using these task boxes (shape themed) during instruction! Your students can practice skills for generalization and maintenance while you work with another student in a small group.
These shapes task boxes are also specifically geared toward use with independent work systems with these features:
❤️Each task has a clear beginning and end.
❤️Tasks are designed (with the help of Velcro) to stay together when the student finishes and put them in the finished basket.
❤️They are easily adapted to individual needs.
❤️They are visually clear and designed to be simple
❤️They were designed to be highly visually engaging and capitalize on the visual discrimination skills that are often a strength for students with autism.
