Through looking at examples around the house (toys, packaging etc) and consolidating their knowledge with a couple of worksheets, the girls now:
- can explain what a polygon and quadrilateral are
- know that vertices mean corners and count them on a shape
- know what an edge and face are and count them on a shape
- can distinguish between straight and curved edges and faces
- can identify cones and square based pyramids, along with spheres, cylinders, cubes, cuboids, triangular based pyramids and triangular prisms (from a while ago!)
- know what a prism is and give examples (M said a banana isn't a prism because the ends are pointy but if you just cut the middle bit it is because it's like a cylinder!)
- can sort shapes based on their number of faces, edges and vertices
Next time we look at shape, I plan to cover symmetry with them inshaAllah. 💪
