Maths - Tuesday 21st

Start by having a look at the shape picture below. It’s different from yesterdays one! Today we have got a castle fit for a prince or princess. You decide. What 2D shapes can you spot? Can you name them and some of their properties?



If you would like you could have a listen to this shape song (not as good as our one Robins!) but you could have a go at learning it and seeing if you know how many sides the 2D shapes have. Take a look…

Activity: I would like you to make the shapes - triangle, square, circle and rectangle on your floor using tape or something that can make large shapes like the picture below. You are then going to go and search your house for objects that can go in the right shape. For example you might find a bowl - I would put this in the circle shape because it has circle rim.

Challenge: Find 10 items and ask an adult to time you to see how quick you can sort the objects into the different shapes. I sorted mine in 5 minutes and 10 seconds. Can you beat Miss Hall?
