Content: Select a named shape or object from a mixed group (e.g. triangle, square, rectangle, circle, box, ball). Sort shapes of mixed sizes according to shape (e.g. these are all triangles). Describe a group of sorted shapes or objects (e.g. these are all round things, they all roll). Draw a recognisable triangle, square, rectangle, circle
Use shapes to copy a simple familiar shape picture. Use shapes to copy a simple shape pattern.
Select a simple shape from a common description of its features.
Recognize and name familiar two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, circle, cone, cube, cylinder, pyramid and sphere.Sort two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes by given criteria.Recognize congruency when handling shapes.
Draw rectangles, squares, triangles, rhombuses, octagons and hexagons freehand and with a ruler.Explain the effect of simple flips, slides and turns on shapes. Draw a mirror image of a given shape.
Recognize straight lines, curved lines, horizontal lines, vertical lines, diagonals and right angles.Recognize and describe two-dimensional and three-dimensional. shapes such as triangle, square, rectangle, circle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, trapezium, cone, cube, prism, cylinder, pyramid and sphere.Identify plane shapes occurring as faces of 3D objects.Use terms such as face, base, edge, vertex.Describe similarities and differences between shapes and objects.Identify shapes or objects from geometric clues.Describe what is not seen in a 3D picture.Predict and sketch the shape of a simple cross section.Nets of prisms and pyramids.Tessellation.Lines of symmetry in 2D shapes.Recognize describe and name common 2D shapes and 3D shapes.Classify angles as right angles, angles greater than 90o, angles less than 90 degrees.Make accurate drawings of 45, 90, 135 angles, using a ruler and protractor.Make accurate drawings of 45, 90, 135 angles, using a ruler and protractor.Describe a 3D object in detail.
Classify shapes and objects according to properties.Construct a net to build a cube to size.Predict various nets for pyramids and prisms.
Build models from cubes and examine the number of cubes that can be seen from different angles.dentify symmetrical 2D shapes and recognize line symmetry in complex shapes.Describe movement of 2D shapes as reflection, rotation or translation.Enlarging and reducing simple shapes.Design and use a template of a figure to make a tessellating pattern.
