There is now no Early Learning Goal specifically for shape but the EYFS Framework stresses that it is important to include rich opportunities for children to develop their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of mathematics including shape, space (and measures). This unit has got you covered with a wide range of hands-on, fun activity ideas as well as printable resources and accompanying PowerPoints that will help your class build strong foundations in spatial reasoning and shape. (If you’re looking for help with measures as well - check out our ‘Measures’ planning unit and resources).

Through hands-on, exploratory play, Early Years children are given rich opportunities to help them recognise the attributes of measure and spatial reasoning. A wide range of activities help them move their language on from ‘bigger’ and ‘smaller’ to more specific vocabulary, e.g. taller, wider, lighter, etc. Opportunities are planned to develop their understanding of measure from direct comparison, to indirect comparison and then beginning to understand the use of units to compare items.
