1C Maths SHAPES

Lesson: Maths

Class: Year 1 - 1C Year: 2021 - 2022

This week we have been exploring shapes and patterns.

We started off by exploring solid shapes by handling them and naming them. We then went on a walk to identify the shapes within our environment. Once we had completed this episode of learning, we used our knowledge and understanding to draw some objects, name them and label the name of the 3D shape.

In our next lesson we explored 2D shapes. We revisited the names of some regular, common 2D shapes then learned all about their properties. We then went on to draw 2D shapes, we labelled them by name and by their properties (number of sides and number of corners).

In lesson 3, we grouped a selction of 2D shapes according  their colour, size, properties and names.

In lesson 4, we had to draw upon what we had learned about 2D shapes and create patterns. We are now able to create and explain our patterns (some in simple terms and some in more advanced terms) E.G. Cirle, Square, Circle, Square, Circle  ... and Big red square, Little yellow circle, Big blue rectangle, Big red square, Little yellow and so on. circle, Big blue rectangle, 

lesson 5 - we cut out some 2D shapes, cut them in half, mixed them up and had to glue them back together in our books and label them with their correct shape names. This was a lot of fun!!

All of the class achieved to learning objectives and enjoyed every activity.
