Year 1 Autumn Term: Block 3 Geometry: Shape

Just a one week block for Geometry/Shape although this is returned to later in the year.

Children will be introduced to a variety of 3D shapes including the cube, cuboid, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere. They will begin to recognise that a shape can have the same name but be a different size or orientation. Plenty of practical work needed here as children sort and name shapes.

2D shapes are also introduced, including triangles, squares, rectangles and circles.

Making patterns using these shapes will include using ordinal numbers to describe the patterns.

Using 2D shape (1)

Here we have some great pages which will help your child to recognise the four basic 2D shapes: circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. You can also have great fun with making pictures of your own just using these shapes. Find plastic shapes or even sticky materials from craft stores which can be used in scrapbooks.
