National Curriculum Objectives

Mathematics Year 2: (2G1a) Compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects

Mathematics Year 2: (2G2a) Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line

Differentiation:
Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support sorting regular 2D shapes by the number of sides, vertices and vertical lines of symmetry. All shapes presented in the same size and orientation.
Expected Questions to support sorting regular and some irregular 2D shapes by the number of sides, vertices and vertical lines of symmetry. Shapes presented in different sizes and orientations.
Greater Depth Questions to support sorting regular and irregular 2D by the number of sides, vertices and vertical/horizontal lines of symmetry. Shapes presented in different sizes and orientations.

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1, 4 and 7 (Problem Solving)
Developing Identify which regular shape(s) could be covered by a paint splat in a Venn diagram. All shapes presented in the same size and orientation.
Expected Identify which shape(s) could be covered by a paint splat in a Venn diagram. Shape(s) could be regular or irregular and presented in different sizes and orientations.
Greater Depth Identify which shape(s) could be covered by a paint splat in a Venn diagram. Shape(s) could be regular or irregular and presented in different sizes and orientations. One criteria could be about a horizontal line of symmetry.

Questions 2, 5 and 8 (Reasoning)
Developing Explain whether a statement about whether a certain shape would fit into a table is correct or not. All shapes are regular and are presented in the same size and orientation.
Expected Explain whether a statement about whether a certain shape would fit into a table is correct or not. Shape could be regular or irregular and presented in different sizes and orientations.
Greater Depth Explain whether a statement about whether a certain shape would fit into a table is correct or not. Shape could be regular or irregular and presented in different sizes and orientations. One criteria could be about a horizontal line of symmetry.

Questions 3, 6 and 9 (Reasoning)
Developing Identify one missing label for a Venn diagram and explain the reasoning for it. Shapes are regular and are presented in the same size and orientation.
Expected Identify two missing labels for a Venn diagram and explain the reasoning for it. Shapes can be regular and irregular and are presented in different sizes and orientations.
Greater Depth Identify two missing labels for a Carroll diagram and explain the reasoning for it. Shapes can be regular and irregular and are presented in different sizes and orientations. One criteria could be a horizontal line of symmetry.
