Ovals All Around Us

Help children discover that ovals really are everywhere!

Ovals All Around Us is a visual resource designed to support children in recognising ovals and noticing them in the world around them. The resource features a collection of familiar objects and images with a clear shape, providing opportunities for children to identify, name and talk about ovals.

Use the resource to:

• Introduce or reinforce ovals.
• Develop shape recognition and mathematical vocabulary.
• Encourage children to spot ovals in their environment.
• Support conversations about the features of ovals.
• Inspire children to find and photograph, draw or collect their own examples of ovals.

The resource works well for adult-led maths sessions, small-group activities, shape hunts, classroom displays and continuous provision.

A simple, visual way to help children see ovals everywhere!
