Nothing in this world exists without a shape or pattern. The tree, leaves, water, rocks, the Solar system, our machines, computers are following patterns of all sorts of mathematical shapes and equations. Keeping this in mind, the concept of 3D shapes was introduced in Grade 1. At this tender age, the students are familiarised with the vocabulary like pipe- like, cone- like, box- like for cuboid,sphere and cube respectively. Studying shapes provides many foundational skills and helps to build thinking skills, deductive reasoning and problem solving. A show and tell activity was organised wherein students participated enthusiastically and explained the various properties of respective objects. To make it more innovative, students showed various objects like lunch box, tubelight, computer etc. and shared the physical attributes of the objects and correlate it with the respective shapes. It was a fun filled activity where our confident Presidians enjoyed their learning in play way method.
