Lesson Five – Shape Sort
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explain and model how to use tables and Venn diagrams to sort a selection of different shapes into matching groups according to their properties.
The class can identify and explain why they have sorted each selection of shapes into matching groups for their number of sides and vertices to show why each group is unique.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to explain and model how to use tables and Venn diagrams to sort a selection of different shapes into matching groups according to their properties
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to record how to use Venn diagrams for core and extension ability levels and tables for support ability levels to sort different shapes into groups according to their matching properties.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use tables and Venn diagrams to sort shapes into groups according to their properties.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to recognise, describe and classify different 2D geometric shapes by their matching properties including their number of sides and vertices. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
