Learning goals

We are learning to compare the perimeter and area of shapes, counting appropriate formal and informal units.
We are learning to compare the areas of irregular shapes counting square centimetres.
We are learning to describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes and to identify symmetries.
We are learning to enlarge an image, cartoons or shapes using digital technologies and grid reference systems.
