To get the most out of this activity, use these five questions to guide your learners:
1. Can you point to a square on the page and tell me how many sides it has?
2. Which shape looks like the slice of pizza or a sandwich cut in half?
3. If we put two squares together, what new shape could we make?
4. Can you find a circle that is hiding in the corner of the paper?
5. How many triangles can you count in total?
Whether you are teaching about patterns or exploring geometry, this resource is a fantastic addition to your collection. Encourage children to talk about the colours they are using while they work, fostering both mathematical thinking and communication skills.
