Why this why now
This unit provides a break from developing number work and an opportunity to develop other key mathematical skills of special reasoning and pattern. The unit builds on the spatial reasoning and pattern language and examples they will have encountered in the Early Years.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Identify and describe 2D and 3D shapes
- Explore how shapes can be combined or taken apart
- Understand symmetry and simple transformations
