Lesson Three – Shape Vertices

This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to illustrate how to group and classify a range of different 2D shapes by their matching number of vertices to describe their unique properties.
The class can select and illustrate different shapes to match a a range of written statements describing their individual properties for their number of vertices.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to illustrate how to group and classify a range of different 2D shapes by their matching number of vertices to describe their unique properties
Activities in this teaching pack include differentiated sets of cards to support grouping and classifying a range of different 2D shapes by their matching properties for vertices to indicate what makes a specific shape unique and different from other shapes.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to group and classify a range of different 2D shapes by their matching number of vertices.
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.
