Slide 1: Title Slide


 Title: Exploring Shapes in Maths
 Subtitle: Fun with 2D and 3D Shapes for Primary School
 Visual: Colorful shapes (circle, square, cube, sphere) with smiling faces
 Notes: Welcome students! Today, we’ll learn about shapes, their names, and where we
see them in the world.

Slide 2: What Are Shapes?


 Content:
o Shapes are everywhere!
o Two types: 2D (flat) and 3D (solid).
o 2D shapes have length and width; 3D shapes have length, width, and height.
 Examples:
o 2D: Circle, square, triangle
o 3D: Cube, sphere, cylinder
 Visual: Split image showing 2D shapes (left) and 3D shapes (right)
 Notes: Ask students to name shapes they know. Explain 2D vs. 3D using a flat paper
(2D) and a ball (3D).

Slide 3: 2D Shapes and Properties


 Content:
o Circle: No sides, no corners, round.
o Square: 4 equal sides, 4 corners.
o Triangle: 3 sides, 3 corners.
o Rectangle: 2 long sides, 2 short sides, 4 corners.
 Visual: Each shape with labels for sides and corners
 Notes: Show real objects (e.g., clock for circle, book for rectangle). Ask: “How many
sides does a triangle have?”

Slide 4: 3D Shapes and Properties


 Content:
o Cube: 6 equal square faces, like a dice.
o Sphere: Round, no flat faces, like a ball.
o Cylinder: 2 circular bases, curved surface, like a can.
o Cone: 1 circular base, 1 pointed top, like an ice cream cone.
 Visual: 3D shape models with labeled parts
 Notes: Pass around 3D shape models if possible. Ask: “What’s different about a cube and
a sphere?”

Slide 5: Shapes in Real Life


 Content:
o Where do we see shapes?
 Circle: Wheels, coins
 Square: Tiles, windows
 Cube: Boxes, Rubik’s cube
 Sphere: Planets, oranges
 Visual: Photos of real-world objects matching shapes
 Notes: Activity: “Shape Hunt” – students list shapes they see in the classroom or at
home.

Slide 6: Comparing Shapes


 Content:
o 2D vs. 3D:
 2D shapes are flat, drawn on paper.
 3D shapes can be held, have depth.
o Example: A square (2D) becomes a cube (3D).
 Visual: Diagram showing square → cube transformation
 Notes: Ask: “Can you name a 3D shape that comes from a circle?” (Answer: Sphere or
cylinder).

Slide 7: Fun Activity – Shape Sorting


 Content:
o Activity: Sort shapes into 2D and 3D groups.
o Materials: Cutouts of circles, squares, cubes, spheres, etc.
o Goal: Identify and group shapes by type.
 Visual: Table with two columns: “2D Shapes” and “3D Shapes”
 Notes: Encourage teamwork. Discuss why each shape belongs in its group.

Slide 8: Quick Quiz


 Content:
o
1. Name a shape with no corners. (Answer: Circle or sphere)
o

2. How many sides does a rectangle have? (Answer: 4)


o

3. What 3D shape looks like a can? (Answer: Cylinder)


 Visual: Question marks with shape images
 Notes: Make it interactive – students can raise hands or use mini whiteboards to answer.

Slide 9: Wrap-Up
 Content:
o Shapes are fun and all around us!
o 2D shapes: Flat, like circles and squares.
o 3D shapes: Solid, like cubes and spheres.
o Keep spotting shapes in your world!
 Visual: Collage of all shapes covered
 Notes: Recap key points. Assign homework: Draw 3 shapes seen at home and label them.

Slide 10: Questions and Discussion


 Content:
o Any questions about shapes?
o What’s your favorite shape and why?
 Visual: Big question mark surrounded by shapes
 Notes: Encourage students to share ideas. End with a fun fact: “A circle is perfectly
round because every point is the same distance from the center!”
