In maths this week, we have been exploring 2D shapes and their properties. We have enjoyed exploring shapes in a range of ways; shape hunting, shape songs, creating pictures using shapes and also sorting shapes according to their properties.

During our shape hunt, we found loads of shapes and recorded them on our clipboards.  What shapes can you see?

We have also been busy making shape pictures and were able to identify all the shapes that we have used.  We then discussed the properties of the shapes too.

Can you tell what we have made?

Which shape has two long sides and two short sides?

The children were then introduced to a sorting method using a Venn Diagram. We really enjoyed sorting the shapes and objects into the correct place. We know that we use Venn Diagrams for sorting!
