The children have been naming, describing and making shapes.
The children made a variety of shapes using straws and playdough. They had to think about how many sides the shape has got and how long the sides should be.
This is a trapezium!
The children played a game, which involved one child describing the shape and the other child guessing which shape they were describing.
The children did the same activity using 3D shapes.
Do ask the children to look out for shapes at home so that they keep practising naming different shapes. If they can name shapes ask them how they know. This should help them to develop their skills in describing shapes too.
Doubling
The children learny that doubling is starting with a number and adding the same numbr to it. We use the + sign when we record the number sentence.
we used ladybirds, cubes and numicon.
