Learning objectives

40 - 60+ months:

• Recognises numerals 1 to 5.

• Counts up to three or four objects by saying one number name for each item.

• Counts actions or objects which cannot be moved.

• Counts objects to 10, and beginning to count beyond 10.

• Counts an irregular arrangement of up to ten objects.

• Estimates how many objects they can see and checks by counting them.

Early Learning Goal:

. Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number.

Learning objectives

40-60+ months:

• Counts up to three or four objects by saying one number name for each item. • Counts actions or objects which cannot be moved.• Uses familiar objects and common shapes to create and recreate patterns and build models. • Beginning to use mathematical names for ‘solid’ 3D shapes and ‘flat’ 2D shapes, and mathematical terms to describe shapes. • Selects a particular named shape.

Early Learning Goal:

They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.

1. Colour in the shapes. Colour the circles in red, the squares in blue, and the triangles in yellow.

2. How many of each shape did you find?

There are circles.

There are squares.

There are triangles.

Sorting 2D shapes 1

Sorting 2D shapes 2Cut out these shapes and sort them into circles and squares.

Take your pencil for a walk around the dotted shapes. Start at the red dots.

Creating 2D shapes 2

Place buttons, dry pasta, matchsticks or straws around the sides of these shapes.

Turn these shapes into different things. The first one has been done for you.

Creating 2D shapes 3

Play the shape robot game

Colour in your own shape robot. Roll a dice and colour in the shapes next to the numbers in the key. Who can finish their robot first?

1= 2= 3= 4= 5= 6=

Key:

Draw a line from each shape to the correct description and fill in the name of the shape. The first one has been done for you.
