This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explore and record how to select and compare some different shapes that have been used in tessellating patterns found on a range of pavements around a city location.

The class can practise grouping 2D shapes to make some example repeating patterns that might be used for the paving stones on a city pavement.

Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore and record how to select and compare some different shapes that have been used in tessellating patterns found on a range of pavements around a city location

Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe shapes and patterns that can be seen on city pavements and a worksheet to select and continue examples of different repeating patterns using a range of 2D shapes.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and compare some different shapes that have been used in tessellating patterns found on city pavements.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and classify sets of 2D shapes by their matching properties when used in examples of repeating patterns. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
