Shape Hunt

Home Learning

Focus: Communication Skills (Mathematics – Shape and Space) 

Go on a shape hunt to see what shapes you can find. Have your child describe, photograph or draw the shapes they find. 

Observing and discussing details such as the number of sides and corners, helps the children notice that ‘shapes have characteristics that can be described and compared’.

Shapes are all around us, in our homes, in our playgrounds and in all our favourite spaces.

• Do you see the hidden shapes?
• Can you name them? 

Tyson used many shapes to create a showman. He used shapes to create his picture.

Leming and his brother were exploring and creating shapes using train tracks and other familiar objects. 

Can you name these shapes? 

Michelle created a ‘pyramid’ using lots of ‘loose parts’ in her garden.

Bruce created a picture using shapes. He used an app to draw a rose with several triangles!

Bruce discovered a face with many mosaic little squares!

@Felix’s Project:

“Yesterday we were at IKEA and bought a new shelf for Simon’s room. I was very busy to build it. When we were almost ready I recognised some shapes in the shelf. Circle, square and rectangle. The box comes with Playmobil.”
