Please refer shapes bundle for better price!!!

This clear and interactive PowerPoint is the ideal resource for introducing the rectangle shape to young children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Key Features and Content:
Shape Characteristics: Focuses on the properties of a rectangle, clearly demonstrating that it has four sides and four corners/vertices, with two long sides and two short sides (opposite sides are equal).

Environmental Recognition: Features engaging slides to help children spot rectangles everywhere:

Rectangular Food: Examples of foods that are rectangular (e.g., chocolate bar, fish fingers).

Rectangular Objects: Common objects found in daily life that are rectangular (e.g., doors, books, screens).

Rectangular Toys: Examples of toys incorporating the shape (e.g., train carriages, dominoes).

Creative Challenge: Concludes with an active learning task: “How can we make a rectangle using things in class?” This slide motivates children to use classroom resources (like pipe cleaners, sticks, or straws) to construct the shape.

This resource effectively supports early geometry skills by enhancing shape vocabulary, observational skills, and understanding of geometric attributes.
