This document provides activities for teaching early stage mathematics concepts related to 2D shapes. It includes exercises for students to identify, name, match, and draw different 2D shapes. It also has activities where students observe shapes in their environment and use basic shapes to design objects. The activities are meant to help students remember, understand, apply, analyze, and create using their knowledge of 2D geometric shapes. Videos and stories are referenced to further support the shape concepts.

1. Space and Geometry 2 Dimensional Space Early Stage 1 Mathematics activities based on Bloom’s Taxonomy

2. Learning Outcome: SGES1.2 Manipulates, sorts and describes representations of two- dimensional shapes using everyday language.

3. Bloom’s Level: Remember Lets see what we remember! Move the shapes to the correct box. Circle Triangle Square Rectangle

4. Bloom’s Level: Remember Answers Circle Triangle Square Rectangle

5. Bloom’s Level: Remember Can you name some of the shapes you see in this house? What shapes do you see in your own bedroom?

6. Bloom’s Level: Remember Lets watch this video to remember some more shapes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gclsis-A1sw&feature=fvwrel

7. Bloom’s Level: Understanding Listen to the story Sniffer Bob Shapes Up and learn more about shapes! Sniffer Bob Shapes Up by Mary Ann Graziani http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnlsWMY2e5o

9. Can you draw some of the shapes you found in the story? Sniffer Bob Shapes Up by Mary Ann Graziani http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnlsWMY2e5o

10. Bloom’s Level: Apply What 2 dimensional shapes do you seein each of these 3 dimensional shapes? Highlight the 2 dimensional shapes you see in each of these shapes.

11. Bloom’s Level: Apply Can you match the shapes with the objects?

12. Bloom’s Level: Apply Crate some shapes using these paddle pop sticks

13. Bloom’s Level: Apply Did you make some of these shapes? Square Triangle

14. Bloom’s Level: Apply Could you make a circle using paddle pop sticks? Why?

15. Bloom’s Level: Analyse and Create Shapes In Our Environment Lets take our flip cameras and go to the playground to see some shapes! Class discussion: What shapes did you see? Do they look like other shapes you already know? What are shapes made?

16. Bloom’s Level: Analyse and Create Image you are a bus driver and design your own bus using these shapes.

17. Bloom’s Level: Analyse and Create Did you make your train like this?

18. Bloom’s Level: Apply and Create Your friend’s truck has fall apart, can you help him reconstruct it (make it again)?

19. Bloom’s Level: Apply and Create Well done! Did you make it look like this?

20. Bloom’s Level: Apply and Create Now you are professional at making things using different shapes. Design your own house using as many shapes of the ones below. When you have designed your house on this slidecreate it using coloured papers.

21. Bloom’s Level: Apply This is my design, why not create your own?

22. Bloom’s Level: Evaluate Imagine, Think and Draw! Imagine that a football is made in square shape. How far they would it go when you kick it? What is the best shape to make a football? Draw 2 things that have a round (circle) shape.
