Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the different circular shapes that can be seen in space and a set of cards to select and build different sequences of 2D shapes and identify the next shape in each set.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to identify and describe different types of 2D shapes by their matching properties and create repeating patterns.

This lesson is part of a numeracy scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and compare different 2D shapes by their individual shape properties including numbers of sides and corners. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
