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
-
Word Matching
Identify, match and record the initial sounds that have been used in a range of cvc words beginning with different letters
-
Family Toys
Investigate and record how a selection of different toys and games that were owned by families have changed and developed over time
-
Subtraction Digits
Model and illustrate how to subtract pairs of single digit numbers within ten using concrete equipment and diagrams to support the subtraction calculations
-
Family Experiences
Practise composing and presenting some example stories with familiar settings to illustrate things that might be experienced by a family
