snap on pin through the centre of the fan.
Aims & Objectives
Year 1
• Use everyday language to describe features of familiar 2-d shapes, including circle,
square, triangle, rectangle….
• Referring to properties such as the number and types of size.
Year 2
• Use the mathematical names for 2-D shapes, including pentagon, hexagon, and
octagon…
• Sort shapes and describe some of their features, such as the number of sides and
corners, symmetry (2-D shapes), suggested statements to use:
Year 3
• Classify and describe shapes referring to properties such as reflective symmetry
(2D), the number or shapes of faces, the number of sides/edges and vertices,
whether sides/edges are the same length, whether or not angles are right angles…
