Classify and describe 3-D and 2-D shapes, including the hemi-sphere, prism, semi-circle, quadrilateral...
referring to properties such as reflective symmetry (2-D), the number or shapes of faces, the number of sides/edges and vertices, whether sides/edges are the same length, whether or not angles are right angles... (p.81) |
Mental and Oral possibilities similar to physically holding a shape behind a book. Children predict what the shape will be. Oral explanation possibilities |

| Make and describe shapes and patterns: for example, explore the different shapes that can be made from four cubes.Relate solid shapes to pictures of them. (p.83) |

Identify and sketch lines of symmetry in simple shapes, and recognise shapes with no lines of symmetry.
Sketch the reflection of a simple shape in a mirror line along one edge. (p.85 |
Demonstration tool allows creation of shapes/patterns and showing reflection in mirror line |
Primary Resources
'Reflection' |
| Read and begin to write the vocabulary related to position, direction and movement: for example, describe and find the position of a square on a grid of squares with the rows and columns labelled.Recognise and use the four compass directions N, S, E, W. (p.87) |
Simple coordinate plotting in 1st quadrant |
Primary Resources
'Coordinates II' |
Make and describe right-angled turns, including turns between the four compass points.
Identify right angles in 2-D shapes and the environment.
Recognise that a straight line is equivalent to two right angles.Compare angles with a right angle. (p.89)
