Curriculum Objectives

• Recognise and name common 2-D shapes [for example, rectangles (including squares), circles and triangles]
• Recognise and name common 3-D shapes [for example, cuboids (including cubes), pyramids and spheres]
• Describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns
• Compare and sort common 2-D shapes and everyday objects
• Compare and sort common 3-D shapes and everyday objects
• Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line
• Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces
• Identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes, [for example, a circle on a cylinder and a triangle on a pyramid]
• Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
• Use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement, including movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three-quarter turns (clockwise and anticlockwise)
• Draw 2-D shapes
• Recognise that angles are 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 lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations
• Complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry
• Identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to two right angles by size
• Describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down
• Plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon
• Distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on reasoning about equal sides and angles
• Identify angles at a point and one whole turn (total 360), angles at a point on a straight line and 1/2 a turn (total 180 ) and other multiples of 90
• Draw given angles, and measure them in degrees
• Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed
• Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes
• Draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles
• Recognise and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets
• Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles
• Illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius
• Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes
• Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants)
