Shapes

In the early stages of learning it is important to teach children the basis so that when the work becomes more complex they will have foundation to base their understanding on. Learning the different kinds of shapes is a fundamental learning step during your educational years because shapes only get more and more complex as you continue your education.

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

It important to have an understanding of the basis shapes because of how much they are used in everyday life. Shapes are all around in the world so we have to be able to teach our children the basic shapes so that they will be aware of them in their lives.

I find that the pattern worksheets are very helpful with remembering sequence. So I found a worksheet that has the basic shapes and allows the students to find the pattern.

The second worksheet is one that makes the students aware of what shapes they have. In which they are identifying them by color and then has the students use their counting skills to show how many shapes they have.

The final worksheet has the students identify the shapes based on some real world items such as a stop sign and a window. This worksheet has the students cut and identify which shape category the real work item belongs to.

Each of these worksheet helps the younger students, that would be in kindergarten ,with identifying and relating these shapes with concrete examples.

Reflection: During the last few weeks of doing my Personal Learning Path's I have learned and reviewed a lot about material I have not seen in years. This last post reminds me that I still have work to do as a teacher and that I must continue to strengthen my learning on topics/concepts I was not the best at , so that I can teach my future students how to succeed in their math journey. Although shapes are considered basis, they can be complex because their are so many shapes involved in mathematics. I defiantly enjoyed looking at different teaching resources and finding intriguing worksheet , activities , and games that can help further my future students knowledge in math. Thank you for coming along on this mathematics journey with me ! TATA for now 😊

👀 Can you find the Perimeter???👀

Can you tell me the perimeter of this house? Most adults cannot from the top of their head. Sometimes as the teacher we expect our students to know a lot more than they should. Their brains grow just as much as our adult brains do therefore we have to continue to shape and mold them with new material to sharpen their tools and expand their knowledge. In order to do this we must start out with the basics and try to help our students build on the tools they already have. This Perimeter topic can be difficult to some students but as the teachers it is all about how your present the material to help the children who are learning. Like a wise woman once told me .. " its not what you say , its how you say it" so for teachers the saying is "its not what you teach, its how your teach it ".
