Geometry

Outcomes

• Properties of Shapes
  Pupils continue to classify shapes using geometrical properties, extending to classifying different triangles (for example, isosceles, equilateral, scalene) and quadrilaterals (for example, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium). Pupils compare and order angles in preparation for using a protractor and compare lengths and angles to decide if a polygon is regular or irregular. Pupils draw symmetric patterns using a variety of media to become familiar with different orientations of lines of symmetry; and recognise line symmetry in a variety of diagrams, including where the line of symmetry does not dissect the original shape
  • Compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes
    Play Activities 43
    Examples
  • Identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to two right angles by size
    Play Activities 25
    Examples
  • Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations
    Play Activities 15
    Examples
  • Complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry
    Play Activities 32
    Examples
• Position & Direction
  Pupils draw a pair of axes in one quadrant, with equal scales and integer labels. They read, write and use pairs of coordinates, for example (2, 5), including using coordinate-plotting ICT tools
  • Describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant
    Play Activities 47
    Examples
  • Describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down
    Play Activities 43
    Examples
  • Plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon.
