Unit E – Shapes
This numeracy scheme of work for the Foundation Stage gets the children to identify, describe and compare 2D shapes by their individual properties. The class can indicate how squares, circles, triangles and rectangles are the same or different when used in a range of contexts.
Identify, describe and compare different 2D shapes by their individual shape properties including numbers of sides and corners
Lesson One : Squares
Identify and describe square shapes by their matching number of sides and corners
Lesson Two : Circles
Identify and describe different types of 2D shapes by their matching properties and create repeating patterns
Lesson Three : Rectangles
Compare and explain how rectangles are the same or different as other shapes by their individual properties
Lesson Four : Triangles
Use the properties of 2D shapes to identify examples of different sized triangles
Lesson Five : Spotting Shapes
Identify, describe, sort and compare different 2D shapes by their matching individual properties
