The Cheeky Monkeys have been learning about shapes in mathematics. We played an outdoor game where we first identified the characteristics of the 4 basic shapes—square, circle, rectangle and triangle. Then the teacher spread out shapes in various sizes and colours on the ground and the children had to find their shapes to take back to their circle. The next day, the children participated in some centre activities. They made a picture out of shapes, made some simple patterns, did some tangram puzzles and played some sorting activities on the smart board and tablet.
