parade of shapes introduces the properties of 2D four sided and
three sided shapes. Children are encouraged to identify these in
the environment around them. The programme is split into three
sections. First, there is the case of the disappearing shapes.
This animated sequence takes a fun look at how the world would
be without four sided shapes. The next section is called Getting
into Shape. Implicit shapes can be abstracted from everyday
shapes around us. A fun sequence at the "shape gym" explores the
properties of triangles and how some of them fit easily within
quadrilaterals. And finally, there is Shapes within Shapes.
After the disappearance of the four sided shapes, triangles are
filling the gaps that have been left. We expand on the
properties of shapes. Part of the series: Vocational GCSEs Login
