Stage 1

Two-dimensional spatial structure A
2D shapes: Recognise and classify shapes using obvious features
  • Explore, manipulate and describe features of Loading 

  • Use the terms ‘Loading ’, ‘Loading ’ and ‘Loading ’ to describe plane (flat) Loading 

  • Create repeating Loading  with shapes, including two-shape and three-shape Loading 

  • Compare, sort and classify polygons according to the number of sides or vertices

  • Select and name a shape from a description of its features, identifying Loading , quadrilaterals, Loading , hexagons and octagons (Reasons about spatial relations)

  • Recognise that shapes with the same name may have sides of equal or different Loading  (Reasons about spatial relations)

  • Identify shapes presented in different orientations

2D shapes: Transform shapes with slides and reflections
  • Recognise that Loading  or Loading  a shape does not change its size or features (Reasons about spatial relations)

  • Identify and create a slide (translation) or reflection of a single shape and use the terms ‘slide’ (translation) and ‘reflection’ to describe the movement of the shape

  • Make designs with symmetry from reflection using paper-folding, mirrors, drawings or paintings

Area: Indirectly compare area
  • Indirectly compare the areas of two Loading  that cannot be moved or Loading 

  • Predict which of two similar shapes has the larger area and check by covering

Area: Measure areas using uniform informal units
  • Explore area using Loading  informal units to cover the surface in rows or columns without gaps or overlaps

  • Measure area by selecting and using appropriate uniform informal units (Reasons about relations)

  • Explain the relationship between the size of a unit and the number of units needed to measure an area (Reasons about relations)

  • Explain why the area remains Loading  when units are rearranged (Reasons about relations)

  • Record areas by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used

  • Identify any parts of units left over when counting uniform informal units to measure area

  • Estimate areas by referring to the number and type of uniform informal unit used and check by measuring
