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
