Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What shapes should a Class 1 child recognise confidently after this chapter?
Circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles should be easily recognised and named in everyday objects.

Q2. How can I practise patterns with my child at home?
Use household items like beads, buttons, or coloured blocks to create a simple repeating pattern and ask the child to continue it.

Q3. Why is spotting the “repeating unit” important in a pattern?
Finding the smallest group that repeats helps predict what comes next accurately, rather than guessing.

Q4. Is sorting by shape different from sorting by colour or size?
Yes, sorting by shape focuses only on the outline or form of an object, ignoring its colour, size, or material.
