Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain how to layer and combine pairs of shapes in a graphic design and a worksheet to practise layering and adjusting shapes in a graphics program to match different designs.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore and illustrate some of the special ways of layering and ordering different shapes in a graphic design.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to select, format and adjust the properties of different shapes when creating the graphic design for a recycling bin for use in school classrooms. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
