Activities in this teaching pack include sets of cards to select different ways of sorting and grouping 2D geometric shapes into groups to match their properties such as shapes with the same number of sides and corners and with straight and curved lines.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explain how they can sort a range of different 2D shapes into groups by matching properties including their 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.
