    One challenge learners may face is understanding spatial relationships between different parts of a 3-D object. This includes concepts such as edges, vertices, and faces. Some learners may struggle to visualize how these elements are connected and how they contribute to the overall shape of the object.

    Space-learners need to be aware of themselves in space know left from right, be able to visualize and develop hand-eye co-ordination and geometric skills.

    Shapes 2D/3D objects

    With ample activities, learners can explore, construct, identify and feel different shapes and object. Learners should recognize shapes in pictures and be introduced to vocabulary different object using material such as boxes, building blocks etc.

    They can learn something like, SHAPE HUNT. This is where they can identify the different shapes from looking at different objects like houses.

    Greetings I agree that our learners must get dirty in order to learn because indeed they learn through playing.

    Teaching space and shapes is so much fun and easy it allows learners to use all their learning styles. It develops their spatial and motor skills.

    I utilise various methods to teach space and shapes such as hop scotch to let the learner pick a certain shape and hop on it . I ask learners to identify real objects similar to the shapes around the classroom and outside the classroom throughout our school and also observing nature.we use our hands to try and form this shapes and we start with 2d shapes and pretend to inflate it to form a 3 d shape. Allow learners to draw and cut out shapes and also bring real objects from home which makes them curious and eager to learn about the characteristics of shapes it’s similarities and differences. Matching and sorting shapes,moulding shapes with clay and sticks . It allows learners not only do understand and master shapes however it builds their motor skills and spatial orientation.
