Ready to move on from the concrete representation of shapes? The EaRL 2D Shapes Mat (76.5 x 76.5cm) is the perfect introduction to the pictorial representation of shapes. Using EaRL Coding Robot as a guide for pupils teach and assess your KS1 class to recognise and name 2D shapes whilst nurturing programming skills.

• Build on concrete representations of shapes by coding EaRL to land on a shape on the mat and get children to name the shape and find an everyday object in the classroom that is the same shape.
• Prepare your pupils early for the digital future by incorporating programming into your geometry lessons using this cross-curricular coding resource.
