Text Introduction to Shapes Year 2 - Calculate

TLF ID A004345

The focus of this activity is to discover the language that students are using to describe the features of shapes. Although students may know the names of many shapes, and may know the difference between a square and a circle, the description of why these shapes are different may not be mathematically accurate. Listen to student suggestions first, before having other students clarify or build upon these descriptions.
