This '''TESSA''' resource on exploring shapes provides an additional context for classification (mathematics) and does not require the use of ICT. | This '''TESSA''' resource on exploring shapes provides an additional context for classification (mathematics) and does not require the use of ICT. Activity 1: Helping pupils sort real objects (on page 4 of the resource) includes useful ideas on how you can set the scene for an open-ended task encouraging students to come up with different ways of classifying everyday objects. The rest of the resource goes on to introduce the mathematical vocabulary needed to describe and classify shapes effectively and introduces a fun 'feely bag' idea. This related ORBIT resource: http://orbit.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/Exploring_shape_and_its_mathematical_language_through_sorting_activities/Resource allows you to see at a glance the material that is included in the resource below. | ||
