Higher: Students will learn how to draw plans and elevations of 3D shapes, carry out and describe transformations including; rotations, reflections, translations and enlargement. Solve problems involving bearings and scale. Construct triangles and bisectors and solve loci problems using a ruler and compass.

Early structures which remain today are often religious and include the Pyramids, Stonehenge and the Parthenon. The earliest evidence for the existence of constructed homes among humans only dates back to 500,000 years ago.
Religious Education: Investigating shapes used in religion, e.g. Jewish Star of David, Christian cross, Islamic star and crescent.
Art: Use of tesselation of shapes to make patterns.
