KS1 & KS2 maths curriculum

This unit allows pupils to explore 2-D shapes, composing and constructing shapes in different ways. Pupils are introduced to the concept of parallel and perpendicular sides as properties of shapes. Using different grids, including geoboards, draw triangles and quadrilaterals with given properties. In the unit, pupils have opportunities to rehearse and use the language of 2-shapes and their properties. This unit prepares them for work with other polygons and work on perimeter in the future.

1. Make shapes by joining two polygons in different ways
2. Investigate different ways of decomposing a polygon
3. Draw polygons on isometric paper
4. Construct quadrilaterals with and without parallel and perpendicular sides
5. Make and draw shapes with and without parallel and perpendicular sides
6. Identifying parallel lines
7. Make and draw triangles on circular geoboards
8. Make and draw quadrilaterals on circular geoboards
9. Draw shapes with given properties
10. Draw shapes with given properties on a range of geometric grids
