Lesson Three – Shape Groups
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explore how to select and group some different sets of 2D shapes by their matching vertical lines of symmetry using Venn diagrams and tables to present the sorted groups.
The class can illustrate and record how to sort shapes with the same matching properties into groups such as shapes with one and no lines of symmetry and with four or more sides.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to explore how to select and group some different sets of 2D shapes by their matching vertical lines of symmetry using Venn diagrams and tables to present the sorted groups
Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet for core and extension ability levels to record how to use Venn diagrams to group sets of different 2D shapes by their matching vertical lines of symmetry and a template for support ability levels to practise using a table to list sets of shapes with matching properties.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and group sets of different 2D shapes by their matching vertical lines of symmetry when using Venn diagrams and tables.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and compare different 2D shapes by their matching individual properties including the number of sides, vertices and lines of symmetry. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
