Note to Pupils:

Materials For Shape Construction:

Paper: Used for making 2D shapes like rectangles, squares, and triangles.
Wood: Suitable for creating 3D shapes and structures.
Metal: Often used in more advanced construction to create durable shapes.
Cardboard: Ideal for crafting and building simple 3D shapes.
Clay/Playdough: Great for molding and creating various shapes in art projects.

Tools For Shape Construction:

Ruler: Essential for measuring and creating precise lines when cutting or drawing shapes.
Scissors: Used for cutting materials like paper, cardboard, and clay into desired shapes.
Pencils and Erasers: Necessary for sketching and marking shapes before construction.
Glue or Adhesive: Used to join and assemble different pieces of materials.

Craft Knife: Appropriate for more detailed and precise cutting when working with materials like wood and cardboard. (Note: This tool should be used under adult supervision for safety.)

Evaluation:
