Let us learn the patterns in shapes by observing them.

Take two sets of shapes each namely square and triangle made of colour paper.

Divide the class into two groups.

Provide one set of shapes to each group.

Now the teacher tells the number of shapes to be used to create patterns. (for example, 1 square, 1 triangle)

Then each of the groups create different patterns on the floor using 1 square and 1 triangle.

Encourage the groups to create more number of patterns.

Continue the activity with different number of shapes.

Various patterns created using the triangle and square shapes are shown below.

Observe and complete the following patterns.

Make a King’s crown by folding colour papers into triangles as shown in the above picture.
