• Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them
• Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn
• Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle
• Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines

What we want children to know

• Recognise angles as a measure of a turn
• Understand that an angle is created when 2 straight lines meet a point
• Recognise that a right angle is a quarter turn and 4 right angles make a complete turn
• Identify whether an angle is greater than or less than a right angle in shapes and turns
• Use the words ‘acute’ and ‘obtuse’ when describing angles
• Measure and draw straight lines accurately in centimetres and millimetres
• Identify and find horizontal and vertical lines in a range of contexts
• Identify horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry in shapes and symbols
• Identify and find parallel and perpendicular lines in a range of practical contexts
• Recognise, describe and draw 2-D shapes accurately
• Recognise and describe 3-D shapes in different orientations
• Make 3-D shapes using construction materials
• Use the correct mathematical language to describe the shapes they have made

What skills we want children to develop

Use knowledge to solve reasoning and problem solving questions such as:

Visualising

I am thinking of a 3-dimensional shape which has faces that are triangles and squares. What could my shape be?

Other possibilities

One face of a 3-D shape looks like this… (a square)

What shape scould it be?

Are there any other possibilities?

Convince me

Which capital letters have perpendicular and/or parallel lines? Convince me.

Mathematical talk

• Can you see any angles around the classroom?
• Which shapes contain right angles?
• Can you draw me a shape that contains acute/obtuse angles?
• What do we call a line that is not horizontal or vertical?
• Where might you see sets of parallel lines in the environment?
• Can you guess the shape from the description given?
