Shapes
Recognise and name flat shapes, from circles and squares to hexagons, by looking at sides and corners.
What your child learns
- Name circle, square, triangle, rectangle, star, heart, oval and diamond
- Count straight sides and corners
- Tell shapes apart even when they are turned or a different colour
Example
A triangle has 3 sides and 3 corners — like a slice of pizza.
