Stage 2

Two-dimensional spatial structure B
2D shapes: Create two-dimensional shapes that result from combining and splitting common shapes

  • Combine common Loading  Loading , including quadrilaterals, to form other common shapes or designs

  • Split a given shape into 2 or more common shapes and describe the result

  • Record the arrangements of common shapes used to create other shapes

2D shapes: Create symmetrical patterns and shapes

  • Create and record tessellating designs by Loading , Loading  and rotating Loading  or quadrilaterals

  • Apply and describe amounts of rotation, including half-turns, quarter-turns and three-quarter-turns, when creating designs

Area: Measure the areas of shapes using the grid structure

  • Measure the areas of Loading  and right-angled triangles using a square-centimetre grid overlay

  • Estimate the areas of shapes found in the environment using efficient strategies (non-count-by-one) with a grid overlay

  • Recognise that rectangles with different Loading  Loading  can have the same area

Area: Compare surfaces using familiar metric units of area

  • Estimate before measuring to determine the larger of 2 rectangular areas in square centimetres

  • Estimate before measuring to determine the larger of 2 rectangular areas in square metres
