Finding shapes
Look around the classroom: the clock is a circle, the window is a rectangle, the chalkboard duster is a rectangle.
Sorting
Group objects by shape: all round things together, all things with corners together.
Try it
- Draw a circle, a square and a triangle.
- Name three objects in your home that are rectangles.
