Fun with Geometrical Shapes – Grade 2 Activity Visual memory of various shapes was boosted in our students of grade 2 in a fun way.

Recognizing shapes and appropriate application of the same is one of the important mathematical skills to develop. The activity was enjoyable and rewarding in itself that helped students to get a better understanding of a world full of different shapes.
