Shape Workshop: Circle or Not?
Name:

Today I am practising: recognizing circles by their continuous curved boundary
1
Circle the drawing with one continuous curved edge.
2
Mark whether an oval is a circle or not a circle.
3
Mark whether a coin outline is a circle or not a circle.
4
Draw a circle around a round object you can see.
5
Cross out a shape with corners from the circle column.
6
Tell an adult one feature you checked before calling a shape a circle.
- Use a cup rim or lid to trace a circle if freehand drawing is frustrating.
- Discuss that a circle is a flat shape; the round object is not itself a circle.
- Ask the child to point to the boundary rather than judging by a familiar object name.
