Shape Workshop: Check a Shape Claim
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: checking a spoken claim about a 2D shape with visible properties
1
A friend says a triangle has four sides. Check and fix the claim.
2
A friend says a circle has corners. Check and fix the claim.
3
A friend says a square has four sides. Mark correct or not yet.
4
Count the corners on a rectangle to check a claim.
5
Write one true claim about a shape.
6
Read your claim to an adult and show the picture evidence.
- Frame incorrect statements as claims to test, not tricks or failures.
- Ask the child to point-count evidence before accepting an answer.
- Let the child dictate a true claim if writing would hide their shape reasoning.
