Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to identify and record sets of objects that can be seen around the school that match the names and properties of a range of different 2D shapes

Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated worksheets to identify and record a list of objects that have been found around the school to match the properties of different shapes including squares, rectangles, circles and triangles.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explain how they can identify a range of specific 2D shapes 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.
