This first of two Early Years shape mastery units, packed full of hands-on, engaging, independent activity ideas and planned whole class and small group work to build on children’s emerging shape knowledge.
Updated for the September 2021 EYFS Statutory Framework and revised Development Matters (non-statutory) curriculum guidance.
Children are encouraged to notice, investigate, play with and talk about shapes to develop their understanding of what each property means in practical, real world terms. Shape-based language is scaffolded and acquired in context, making the learning meaningful and long-term
Planning is provided for one week including:
- daily inputs
- an adult-led focus activity
- engaging independent activities allowing children to make choices about their own learning
- notes on key concepts and common misconceptions
- ideas for keep up support
- greater depth extensions
- mastery questioning prompts for adults
