Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards to select and sort different 2D shapes into groups by their matching properties including their number of sides and corners and a template to record the matching design for a clown’s face using a selection of 2D shapes.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explain how they can identify a range of specific 2D shapes that can be seen in the design of a clown’s face by their matching properties including the number of sides and corners.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to name, describe and compare a range of different 2D shapes by their matching properties by sorting and grouping shapes with the same geometric characteristics. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
