Year 1 and 2 Maths Investigation with shape and number
This is a fun, engaging and creative lesson with shape. The lesson has been successfully used to apply knowledge of shapes in a year 2 setting. Children can begin to think of problems systematically. They think of the best way to start, that there is more than one answer, that they can use number doubles and counting on to support them. Children are encouraged to find different ways to make a 9 sided shape family. They need to be secure with properties of simple 2d shapes previously such as sides of regular shapes.
Work can be differentiated by giving children regular or irregular shapes. Very stimulating activity for all learners.
The activity can be easily adapted for both year groups.

Great but do you have the notebook saved in any other format ? I can't open it and the online programme isn't really helping to solve the problem ?
Brilliant to extend Year 1/2 on their knowledge of shapes into problem solving. Will stretch the highers and challenge the rest.
Thank you! We have been learning about properties of shapes and this is perfect!
A really good activity to reinforce children's knowledge of 2d shapes and to encourage them to think systematically. Suitable for higher ability Y1 and Y2.
