Spheres All Around Us

Help children discover that spheres really are everywhere!

Spheres All Around Us is a visual resource designed to support children in recognising spheres 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 spheres.

Use the resource to:

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

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 spheres everywhere!
