SHAPE ADDITION SHEETS
Handy addition sheets using 2D shapes. Visual representation of shapes allows children to use 1:1 correspondence to count the object and practice writing the correct number in the appropriate box. Alternatively the children could draw the total number of shapes in each box. Also worth a look are our 2D shape cards, shape mats, shape cutting activity and shape walk sheet.

2D SHAPES IN THE ENVIRONMENT - POSTERS
2D shapes in the environment display/prompt posters.
Use as part of a display area to enrich your setting environment, during an activity input or tuff spot activity as a stimulus.
Great for giving children a broader understanding of what e.g. a ‘triangle’ is and how the mathematical shape translates to objects around us in the ‘real world’.
Can children build on the knowledge gained by the posters and find shapes in their own environments?

CAPACITY POSTERS/CARDS
Inspire your children to consider the concept of capacity by displaying these posters within your setting. The posters demonstrate ‘full’, ‘empty’, ‘half-full’, ‘half-empty’ and also move onto include ‘nearly empty’ and ‘nearly full’. These posters can serve as a great stimulus for discussion and prompts during filling and emptying activities such as water/sand play and use of non standard measures such as filling containers with blocks to varying levels.
Extend discussions further for older children by challenging them to e.g. fill a container half full with building bricks. How many bricks did you need to half-fill the container? How many more do you think you will need to fill it completely? How many bricks will that be altogether? (Note that this line of questioning also involves ‘estimating’ and the concept of ‘doubling’.)

WEIGHT COMPARISON ACTIVITY
We have created this game to inspire conversations about the concept of weight. Children can place a card in one of the boxes and then attempt to place an appropriate card (in comparison to the first) in the other box. E.g. they may select an object they think of as ‘heavy’ in the first box and then find a card showing an object they think is ‘lighter’ than that object in the second box. If you have scales in your setting, why not develop this activity further? Perhaps you could begin weighing objects in your setting and draw them into the boxes? Display the finished products as a reminder for the concept or send the posters home to discuss further/allow the child to ’teach’ family members which will further consolidate the concept in a child’s mind.
