Unit J – 2D Shapes

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage One gets the children to name, describe and compare different 2D shapes by their matching properties by sorting and grouping shapes with the same geometric characteristics. The class can record the sets of shapes that can be seen in different places and used on a range of objects.
