Y3 Maths
Year 3 Parallel and Perpendicular
This Year 3 Parallel and Perpendicular lesson covers the prior learning of right angles in shapes, before moving onto the main skill of parallel and perpendicular lines.
The lesson starts with a prior learning worksheet to check pupils’ understanding. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning by completing an engaging extension task.
