Focused Learning

Organiser: Shape, position and movement – properties of 2D shape and 3D objects

Learning outcome: I enjoy investigating objects and shapes and can sort, describe and be creative with them. (MTH 0-16a)

 Talk about the different shapes and their features, whether they have sides, corners, talk about curved, long and short sides. Put shapes in a feely bag and ask children to describe the properties of their shape. Use appropriate vocabulary  Sorting activity of 3d objects and 2d shapes by sight / touch  Sorting activity with properties of 3D objects; those which roll, stack etc  Set up activity where children can begin to name and identify a variety of 2D shapes and 3D objects
