How this product aligns with the EYLF

Developing early STEM and problem-solving skills
The Right Angles Mosaic encourages children to engage with geometric concepts through hands-on exploration. By manipulating the right-angled shapes to create patterns, children develop spatial awareness and enhance their problem-solving abilities as they experiment with different configurations.

Supporting creativity and self-expression
This product provides a platform for children to express their creativity while learning about shapes and colours. As they create their mosaics, children can make choices about their designs, fostering a sense of ownership and individuality in their artistic expression.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.

Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas
Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Set up a dedicated space for the Right Angles Mosaic where children can explore and create independently or collaboratively. Integrate the mosaic into a mathematics corner to reinforce shape recognition and geometry concepts.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to work in pairs to create a specific pattern or design using the mosaic pieces, promoting teamwork and communication. Use the Right Angles Mosaic as a starting point for a storytelling session, where children describe their creations and the shapes they used.

Provocation Ideas
Introduce the Right Angles Mosaic during a discussion about shapes in the environment, prompting children to find and identify right-angled shapes around the classroom. Challenge children to create a mosaic that represents a familiar object or scene, linking their learning to real-world contexts.
