Parent Maths Tip #9: Shapes

Mar 13, 2024

About Maths Tips: These tips provide parents with ideas for maths exercises that will develop their child’s maths abilities. Just as you should read with your child, you should do maths with them as well, using natural language that makes sense to a child. Doing maths with your child is a great way to interact with them and help them learn about our world.

Today’s parent tip focuses on shapes. Geometry is an important area of maths. Young children begin learning geometry by learning about shapes and their characteristics. Triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles are all basic shapes that students should learn. Children can connect shapes with numbers by counting the sides or corners of shapes.
