National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 3: (3G3a) Draw 2-D shapes

Mathematics Year 3: (3G4a) Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn

Mathematics Year 3: (3G4b) 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

Mathematics Year 3: (3G2) Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines

Mathematics Year 4: (4G2b) Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations

Differentiation for Year 3 Recognise and Describe 2D Shapes:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support recognising common 2D shapes and basic polygons, and describing 2D shapes using the number and length of sides and lines of symmetry.
Expected Questions to support recognising common 2D shapes, quadrilaterals and regular polygons using the number and length of sides, lines of symmetry, types of angles and types of lines.
Greater Depth Questions to support recognising regular and irregular polygons and quadrilaterals, including within compound shapes, using the number and length of sides, lines of symmetry, types of angles and types of lines.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Draw 3 shapes which could represent each letter in 2 sorting circles. Includes recognising and describing common 2D shapes and basic polygons using the number and length of sides and lines of symmetry.
Expected Draw 4 shapes which could represent each letter in a Venn diagram. Includes recognising and describing common 2D shapes, quadrilaterals and regular polygons using the number and length of sides, lines of symmetry, types of angles and types of lines.
Greater Depth Draw 6 shapes which could represent each letter in a Venn diagram with 3 circles. Includes recognising and describing regular and irregular polygons, including within compound shapes, using the number and length of sides, lines of symmetry, types of angles and types of lines.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain and prove whether the statement is always, sometimes or never true. Statements to include shapes fitting the criteria given for Question 1.
Expected Explain and prove whether the statement is always, sometimes or never true. Statements to include shapes fitting the criteria given for Question 4.
Greater Depth Explain and prove whether the statement is always, sometimes or never true. Statements to include shapes fitting the criteria given for Question 7.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain the similarities between the shapes referenced for Question 1.

Greater Depth Explain the similarities between the shapes referenced for Question 7.

Differentiation for Year 4 Lines of Symmetry:

Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support finding and identifying lines of symmetry using simple regular polygons with up to 2 lines of symmetry. All shapes in ‘standard’ orientation.
Expected Questions to support finding and identifying lines of symmetry using regular polygons with up to 8 lines of symmetry. All shapes in the same ‘non-standard’ orientation in each question.
Greater Depth Questions to support finding and identifying lines of symmetry using irregular polygons with any number of lines of symmetry. All shapes in unique orientations.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Reasoning)
Developing Find and explain the mistake that has been made when sorting shapes into a Venn diagram. 3 simple regular polygons with up to 2 lines of symmetry used. All shapes in ‘standard’ orientation.
Expected Find and explain the mistake that has been made when sorting shapes into a Venn diagram. 4 regular polygons with up to 8 lines of symmetry used. All shapes in the same ‘non-standard’ orientation in each question.
Greater Depth Find and explain the mistake that has been made when sorting shapes into a Venn diagram. 5 irregular polygons with any number of lines of symmetry used. All shapes in unique orientations.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Problem Solving)
Developing Find all the lines of symmetry (up to 2) in an image made up of multiple shapes. Up to 4 simple regular polygons used, all in ‘standard’ orientation.
Expected Find all the lines of symmetry (up to 8) in an image made up of multiple shapes. Up to 8 regular polygons used, in a mix of ‘standard’ and ‘non-standard’ orientations.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Find the symmetrical shape from a set of 2 shapes and explain what makes it symmetrical. Simple shapes with up to 4 sides used, with one obviously asymmetrical.
Expected Find the 2 asymmetrical shapes from a set of 3 shapes and explain what makes each of them asymmetrical. More complex shapes with up to 8 sides used, with more subtle reasons for asymmetry.
Greater Depth Find the 3 asymmetrical shapes from a set of 4 shapes and explain what makes each of them asymmetrical. Very complex shapes with any number of sides used, with very subtle reasons for asymmetry.
