What's included?
Practical Year 1 resources for pupils to sort 2D shapes based on their properties, a key KS1 Maths objective for developing classification and reasoning skills. Materials build conceptual understanding of shape attributes (sides, corners) by requiring pupils to group them systematically. This essential small step supports mastery of shape properties and is vital for meeting national curriculum expectations for geometric analysis. The CS Maths Scheme provides varied sorting criteria for secure application.
