Mathematics

Continuation with various 2D shapes will continue until the end of November and then the students will move on to 3D figures. The students have had opportunities to explore and sort the shapes and to identify and describe the shapes of circle, square, rectangle and triangle. The students will have additional practice comparing traditional and on-traditional shapes, especially with triangles. At the creation centre the students will be offered with a variety of coloured strips of paper and asked to use the strips of paper to make some of the shapes they know. They will also have opportunities to compose pictures, and build designs, shapes, and patterns.
