10 lessons

Threads

  • Geometry and Measure

This unit revisits known properties of shapes and extends pupils’ knowledge to identify, sort and classify different types of triangles. They then investigate symmetry by creating and completing patterns and looking at symmetry in 2D shapes. This will prepare pupils for future work with 2D shapes including area.

  1. Identify different types of triangle
  2. Explore, sort and classify triangles
  3. Complete a symmetrical pattern
  4. Explore symmetry by joining two identical shapes
  5. Investigate lines of symmetry in 2D shapes by folding
  6. Find lines of symmetry in 2D shapes
  7. Reflect polygons in a line of symmetry
  8. Reflect polygons that are dissected by the line of symmetry
  9. Diagonal lines of symmetry
  10. Investigate symmetry and symmetrical patterns
