What learners practise

identifying and classifying 2D and 3D shapesdescribing sides, vertices, faces and edgesrecognising and measuring anglesfinding lines and rotational symmetryreflecting, translating and rotating shapesusing coordinates, maps and directions
Teaching tips
  • Use real objects before moving to drawings and diagrams.
  • Ask learners to explain which properties prove a shape belongs to a group.
  • When exploring transformations, focus on what changes and what stays the same.
