Not only are children learning about 2D shapes when they play with them, but also other mathematical concepts such as symmetry, tessellation, pattern, sorting, counting and so much more. This activity could either be left unstructured for the children to make their own pictures, patterns and shapes, or you can use pattern block activity cards as a guide. The idea being that the children feel the shapes in the bag without looking, trying to identify each shape using only their sense of touch.
We discuss — How does it feel? Does it have pointy corners? Does it feel round? Generally speaking in the first year of school you could expect your child to learn the shapes pictured above; rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, cube and sphere. Set up a simple ramp and test each shape to see if it rolls down the hill or slides? Next, test each shape to see if it can be stacked easily on top of another shape. A net is a 3D shape flattened out.
These plastic polydrons are a fantastic tool to teach this concept. Making your own die cube is a great place to start! Once again we see 3D shapes in our everyday life.
