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.

Name, describe and compare a range of different 2D shapes by their matching properties by sorting and grouping shapes with the same geometric characteristics

Lesson One : Shape Collections

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

Lesson Two : Shape Views

Identify and name the range of 2D geometric shapes that have been used in graphic illustrations to show different parts of a house

Lesson Three : Shape Groups

Select and record different ways of sorting and grouping a range of 2D geometric shapes into groups to match their individual properties

Lesson Four : Shape Labels

Devise and complete labels that can be used to identify and describe shapes sorted into different groups as part of a decorative pattern on a pot

Lesson Five : Clown Shapes

Identify, describe and group a range of different 2D shapes that can be used for some of the features on clown faces by their matching properties

  • Fraction Divisions

    Fraction Divisions

    Identify, calculate and record how to divide different shapes, quantities and numbers to illustrate the fractions of halves and quarters

  • Number Quarters

    Number Quarters

    Explain and model how to use concrete objects and pictorial diagrams to calculate one quarter of different numbers that are multiples of four

  • Shape Quarters

    Shape Quarters

    Practise identifying and dividing different types of shapes into four equal parts to illustrate the fraction values for quarters

  • Number Halves

    Number Halves

    Explain and model how to use concrete objects and pictorial diagrams to calculate one half of different numbers that are multiples of two and ten
