Master counting and basic shapes through this preschool material- Counting Shapes Worksheets Free Printable!
Still in connection with previous posts, today’s free printable focuses on learning basic shapes. This worksheet set also builds on your child’s counting skills. So it’s a 2-in-1 instructional material which tackles two important skill sets: counting and shapes.
We follow a thematic curriculum in our school- meaning we design our activities based on a specific theme. This is to ensure that children see the relationship among learning areas rather than tackling topics in isolation.
Apart from being thematic, our curriculum is spiral in nature. Whatever children learn in the previous school year, they will still encounter the next year, but more challenging. This is practiced to achieve mastery.
For example, in the case of basic shapes, that in itself can be a lesson theme. So as a teacher, I should come up with activities and materials with shapes as the central topic.
Sample Basic Shapes Lesson Plan
| Learning Area | Objective/s | Activities |
| Literacy | Learn vocabulary words: Circle, Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Oval, Heart, Diamond, Star | Drills Storytelling Watch educational videos |
| Math | Recognize shapes Match shapes Count shapes | Counting and matching concrete objects Worksheets |
| Art | Draw | -Drawing, painting, stamping |
| Gross Motor Skills | Recognize shapes Demonstrate gross motor movements: hopping, jumping, walking | Play hopscotch Go on a shapes hunt |
| Fine Motor Skills | Draw Build Mold | Form shapes using different materials Lacing |
| Music | Recognize shape words | Sing songs |
Clearly, there are so many ways to teach shapes. And there are also numerous topics and skills that can be connected with it. We just need to be creative and resourceful.
So for today’s preschool freebie, I have already combined counting and shapes in one worksheet to help your child master and review both topics at the same time.
These shapes worksheets come in PDF format so it’s easy to download and print. You may also choose between the coloured or black and white sets. Choose whatever suits your child’s needs.
Teacher’s Note:
Design activities and materials where your child can learn topics in connection with other learning areas.
