Take your pupils' geometry skills to the next level using coding as the vehicle. The EaRL 3D Shapes Mat from Hope Education (76.5 x 76.5cm) is a great geometry resource for KS1, providing an engaging way to introduce the pictorial representation of 3D shapes after concrete representation has been mastered. Using EaRL Coding Robot (not included), pupils can hone their computational thinking skills whilst recognising and naming 3D shapes. Smooth the path between concrete and pictorial representation of 3D shapes by getting pupils to name the shape EaRL lands on and then pointing to an object in the classroom that is the same or similar. Engage pupils in their geometry lessons by providing a multi-sensory experience through EaRL and the EaRL 3D Shapes Mat. Prepare your pupils for the digital future ahead of them by incorporating programming in your geometry lessons.
