Unit J – Special Shapes

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage One gets the children to recognise, describe and classify different 2D geometric shapes by their matching properties including their number of sides and vertices. The class can record illustrations and make models to show how to classify shapes into matching groups.

Recognise, describe and classify different 2D geometric shapes by their matching properties including their number of sides and vertices

Lesson One : Shape Search

Recognise and name different 2D shapes that can be found in objects around the classroom

Lesson Two : Shape Sides

Identify and describe how 2D shapes can be the same or different by counting their number of sides

Lesson Three : Shape Vertices

Group and classify a range of different 2D shapes by their matching number of vertices

Lesson Four : Shape Mysteries

Identify and illustrate a range of different 2D shapes by their matching properties including their number of sides and vertices to indicate their uniqueness

Lesson Five : Shape Sort

Explain and model how to use tables and Venn diagrams to sort a selection of different shapes into matching groups according to their properties
