Shape Patterns Around Us
Notice circles, squares, triangles, and repeating patterns in everyday things.
Big, small, long, short
Compare size and length with real objects children can hold, sort, and talk about.
Copy a simple pattern
See and continue very small repeating patterns using colours, claps, or picture objects.
Sort shapes and build patterns
Use shape sorting and easy repeats to strengthen visual noticing in a playful way.
Triangle, rectangle, and patterns
Notice more shapes and continue simple repeating patterns with colours or objects.
Measure and compare length
Compare objects by length using hand spans, blocks, or paper strips before formal rulers.
Light, heavy, and capacity
Compare weight and how much containers can hold using child-friendly objects and simple observation.
Simple halves and equal sharing
Use circles, rotis, fruits, or paper shapes to notice half, whole, and equal sharing.
Perimeter and area with squares
Use floor tiles, grid boxes, and square units to notice the difference between going around a shape and covering a shape.
Fractions as parts of a whole
Use simple shapes and foods to notice one-half, one-third, and one-fourth as equal parts of a whole.
