Lesson Four – Triangles
This numeracy teaching pack for the Foundation Stage gets the children to describe and use the properties of 2D shapes to identify and record examples of different sized triangles including their number of sides and corners.
The class can complete illustrations of shapes and play games to match a range of specific shapes to their matching number of sides and corners for each shape property.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to describe and use the properties of 2D shapes to identify and record examples of different sized triangles including their number of sides and corners
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of worksheets to identify and complete illustrations of different 2D shapes to match listed names and a template to play a game to identify and match different sized triangles, circles, squares and rectangles.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use the properties of 2D shapes to identify examples of different sized triangles.
This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and compare different 2D shapes by their individual shape properties including numbers of sides and corners. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
