Zara the zebra, our resident art-loving character, features on the mat to help children spot patterns and shapes in everyday life, making learning feel like a fun adventure.
Teachers can use this mat during carpet time to introduce new vocabulary, or place it in a dedicated maths area to support independent writing and discovery. It is an excellent visual aid for children to reference when describing the properties of shapes, such as counting sides and corners. Because this resource is differentiated for the expected standard, it provides the ideal level of challenge for children to consolidate their knowledge of geometric properties.
To check understanding, try these five simple questions with your learners:
1. Can you point to the shape that has three sides?
2. How many corners does a square have?
3. Can you find a circle in our classroom?
4. Is a ball a flat shape or a solid shape?
5. Which shape looks like the slice of a sandwich?
