Equip your classroom with EYFS shape manipulatives and resources for shape recognition and sorting activities, ensuring a rich and immersive learning experience for your pupils.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, includes objectives related to understanding shapes, including 3D shapes.
Specifically, within the Mathematics area of learning, one of the early learning goals for children aged 40-60+ months is to “recognise, create and describe patterns.” This includes understanding and using mathematical language to describe 3D shapes such as cubes, cuboids, spheres, cones, and cylinders.
Furthermore, the framework emphasises the importance of providing children with hands-on experiences and opportunities for exploration and investigation. For 3D shapes, this might involve activities such as building with blocks, exploring real-life objects, and using manipulatives to investigate their properties.
