Roof Tiles
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify and describe the properties of some of the different shapes that might be visible on the roof of a building that have been arranged into a repeating pattern.
The class can practise using some different materials to make models of example roofs that could be been on a building by combining and arranging the selected shapes.
Download this teaching pack including display posters, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to identify and describe the properties of some of the different shapes that might be visible on the roof of a building that have been arranged into a repeating pattern
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe some of the different shapes and patterns seen on roof tiles on top of a building and worksheets to select and continue examples of different patterns that could be seen on building roofs.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore the properties of shapes that have been used for roof tiles when arranged into repeating patterns.
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.
