Calling all detectives! Can you spot the different shapes in the real world. Put a check by the correct answer.
- What shape are the donuts?
- What shape are the sandwiches?
- What shape are the brownies?
- What shape is the puzzle?
- What shape is the plate?
- What shapes can you see around you? Draw them.
Cut out the shapes and paste to make a picture. Choose from red circles, orange rectangles, yellow triangles, green quadrilaterals, blue pentagons, purple hexagons, and rainbow heptagons (that's a seven-sided figure!). Are there heptagons at your party?
Help the Numberblocks do some grouping and matching. Draw to sort all the shapes into groups: circles, triangles, and squares. Then, can you draw the other half of the star and hexagon? Can you draw a 7-sided shape for 7?
The Numberblocks have reached Pattern Palance. Use the shape color key to help you finish the picture. What patterns do you notice?
In More Than a Simple Snowflake, Professor Brian Cox explains that while every iceberg has a different shape, they are each made up of tiny hexagonal snowflakes. As snowflakes fall through the sky, electromagnetic forces draw them together. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Forces of Nature, which combines some of the most spectacular sights on Earth with what we know about the Universe to reveal how the Earth’s beauty is created by just a few forces.
Keep this poster and use it to help you figure out numbers.
Step 1: How many tens and ones?
Step 2: Rectangles! Some numbers can make lots, some can only make two.
Step 3: Look inside! How many parts or teams?
Step 4: Play with patterns.
Step 5: Which clubs? Odd Blocks, Even Tops, Super-Rectangle, Square, or Prime?
Step 6: More to explore... there's a whole world of numbers out there!
Cut out the pictures and paste to make a meal for Four and his friends. Square cheese on square bread. Crackers, waffles, fruit, biscuits and cake... it’s all square! Yummy!
Grab a friend to play this game. Who will finish first? Choose who is player 1 and who is player 2. Count down
from 10 to one, then shout, "Go!" Answer all the questions as quickly as you can! Whoever gets to the
finish first wins! Remember that squares are special rectangles.
Snip out your square spotter, we’re going on a square hunt! Ask a grown-up to help you stick it to cardboard and cut it out. Take your spotter around classroom, the house, or out and about. Hold it in front of things to see if they’re squares. Check off the things you find. Found some more? Draw them!
In Explore the Life of the Manta Ray, narrator Sir David Attenborough explains how the manta ray moves through the ocean and how it feeds. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Blue Planet, a definitive documentary series diving into the mysterious depths of the sea to discover the natural history of the world’s oceans and the rarely seen marine life that reside there.
