Our team of curriculum experts designed the following guided lesson, which provides an overview of year two geometric concepts and gives kids lots of opportunities for practise. If your child needs more support in a different format, check out the suggested year two geometry worksheets.

Geometry in year one involves the basics of measurement, shapes, and spatial reasoning. Designed and reviewed by teachers, this guided lesson gives kids an overview of these concepts with clear instruction and engaging exercises. Geometry practise in year one can help bolster the skills needed for higher-level concepts in the later grades. You can give kids even more practise by downloading and printing the accompanying worksheets.

In this lesson, kindergarteners will be given the chance to focus on their counting skills with engaging exercises and guided instruction. Just as identifying the letters of the alphabet is a precurser to reading, so is counting to developing maths fluency. Soon, your child will learn that the numbers they are counting have associated values, so the more practise they can get with counting the better.

The story "My Shadow" provides the backdrop for this guided lesson on the letters I, M and J. Learning to read letter by letter allows children to focus not only on letter recognition, but on the sounds that the letters make in context. This technique provides the building blocks for reading fluency to come in year one and year two. Kids can continue their phonics practise with the accompanying worksheets.

This guided geometry lesson takes second graders on an exploration of 2D and 3D shapes. Kids will learn how to sort shapes, as well as partition them into halves, quarters and thirds. Tangrams are also featured within the exercise in order to give kids practical ways of practising their new geometry skills.
