Teachers Note

Shapes form the base of learning. Identifying, and naming basic shapes help kids in developing a strong basis for mathematical reasoning and literacy. The ‘Shape Castle Mat’ is an interesting way of teaching kids about basic shapes. Teachers can start teaching basic shapes to students and make them relate these shapes with the objects around them. Kids tend to forget shape names.

This is a great teaching activity that helps achieve the two main objectives i.e. identification of shapes and naming shapes. Rapunzel’s story can also be narrated in class to make it more interesting and fun.
