sort, name and create familiar shapes; recognise and describe familiar shapes within objects in the environment, giving reasons

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• sorting a collection of shapes into groups based on different features such as the number of sides, colour or size, and describing how they have been sorted
• creating a picture using a variety of shapes and a range of materials, including objects to trace around, describing the shapes they have created or used and sharing why they chose each shape in their picture
• creating familiar shapes using groups of people; for example, holding hands and creating a circle
