Shape Identification

This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to identify, describe and classify a range of 2D shapes by their matching properties including parallel lines and lines of symmetry. The class can create illustrations and models to show what makes a specific shape special and distinct from other shapes.

Shape Match

Identify, select and record different 2D shapes that match a range of properties including side perimeters, parallel lines and lines of symmetry

Shape Sort

Practise using Carroll Diagrams to identify and sort a range of different shapes by their matching individual properties including parallel lines and types of angles

Shape Labels

Select and record a range of different shapes by their matching properties including sides, corners, lines of symmetry and parallel lines.
