Properties of 2D Shapes
14 A4 posters featuring Square, Circle, Rectangle, Kite, Rhombus, Parallelogram, Trapezium, Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon, Equilateral Triangle, Scalene Triangle, Isosceles Triangle, Right Angle Triangle, Each poster features one shape along with a picture and a list of its properties.
Learning goals
- We are learning to describe the features of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects.
- We are learning to use features to describe and draw two-dimensional shapes.
- We are learning to sort, name, make and describe familiar shapes using obvious features.
- We are learning to make, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features.
- We are learning to recognise, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features and spatial terms, e.g. opposite, parallel, curved, straight.
- We are learning to create, recognise, compare and classify three-dimensional objects using key features.
- We are learning to combine and split composite shapes to identify the common shapes and objects.
- We are learning to construct angles using a protractor and to estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees and name the angles appropriately, e.g. less than 90o equals an acute angle.
- We are learning to describe and perform translations, reflections and rotations of shapes and to identify symmetries.
- We are learning to recognise and create tessellations of shapes, e.g. tiling patterns, describing the transformations used.
