Geometry

Math

• The child learned about different types of angles, such as acute, obtuse, and right angles.
• They explored the concept of symmetry and learned how to identify symmetrical objects.
• The child learned about 2D shapes, including triangles, rectangles, circles, and squares.
• They also practiced identifying and classifying polygons based on the number of sides.

For continued development, encourage the child to create their own symmetrical drawings using various shapes. They can also go on a shape hunt around their house or neighborhood, identifying and naming different 2D shapes they come across. Additionally, they can use everyday objects, like straws or toothpicks, to create different types of angles and explore their properties.
