Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 does anyone know what shapes children in reception need to know by the time they leave us? is it just triangle, circle, square and rectangle? help please! x
Susan Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Those are the 2D shapes as far as Im aware. They need to know some 3D ones too. Try the framework on Standards for more info. Good luck.

aliamch Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 My 5 year old in Year 1 told me off for saying rectangle, 'It's an oblong now mummy, didn't your teacher tell you that?' It was only then I remembered the posts on here, but old habits die hard. Karrie
Guest Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Funny that as my advisor told me last week it's a rectangle! jackie

SmileyPR Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 My Reception children find it easy to learn "cylinder" before other 3D shapes. Maybe that can also be added to the 3D list
KST Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I have taught my children to say oblong rectangle! I have taught square, circle, oblong, triangle and extended HAPs to learning hexagon and pentagon. With regard to 3D shapes I have taught cone, cube, sphere and cuboid, and extended my HAPs to learning cylinder as well. It doesn't state in EYFS which shapes. I have taught other shapes to those children who regualrly chose to play with shapes or construct shapes within their play if they can cope with it.
HappyMaz Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Sorry if this is a particularly thick question, KST but what are HAPs? Maz
KST Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 high ability pupils - sorry thought this was a standard appreviation, maybe just a school thing! doh!
