Hi friends
The last time I told you guys that my son requested for a break in mathematics so we took some time to learn about pronunciation and phonology. I know that my son has phobia for mathematics, the best way to return to our mathematics classes is to introduce basic shapes to him. He'll love this topic because we'll be studying and carving some of the shapes. I know that'll fight who'll hold the scissors and the measurement tape. From the basic shapes we'll go into proper mathematics in our next mathematics class. Basic shapes are very important to teach him at this age because it'll help him identify things or these shapes when he sees them. Greetings from
Basic Shapes to Consider in Today's Lesson
There numerous basic shapes that'll my son needs to know and identify, but for today's class we'll concentrate on the following; square, circle, triangle, oval, rectangle, cube, rhombus, heart, and arrow.
Basic Shapes and their Properties
- Rectangle
Rectangle is a very unique shape with four corners and has two equal sides. An example of rectangular shape is our buses, match box and cars.
- Square

Items Used in Cutting the Shapes
Items used in cutting the shapes include:
- Scissors

- Measurement tape
Finally, doing practicals such as this one in our homeschool is usually hectic because my son will always want to do what you're doing and at some point help to spoil what his doing. At least he can identify the various shapes mentioned above. Thanks for reading my post
