Sorting, Properties of Shapes
Key Stage: 1 ★
Can you find some collections of shapes that go together? Can you think of a name for your collection?
This problem provides an opportunity for children to sort and categorise, both of which are important mathematical processes. This open activity challenges children to find their own categories and then name them. This means it is a good way to introduce specific vocabulary associated with properties of shape, or to remind children of relevant mathematical language.
This resource has comprehensive teachers' notes and resources, linked from the problem page. This includes possible approaches and key questions, as well as possible support and extensions.
