Understanding Shapes

Shapes are all around us, everywhere you look; 2D, 3D, familiar objects, solids, moving shapes, whole shapes, fractions of shapes, they really are everywhere and in everything! Welcoming children to this exciting strand opens up a whole new world of understanding. Help the children identify properties of shapes, understand the difference between horizontal and vertical, develop the ability to use a compass, work with angles, degrees and even map direction, the list is endless.
Our comprehensive bank of resources takes inspiration from the environment around us and draws on the very best techniques, helping teachers deliver informative and exciting modules, in the class and even out and about.
