  1. Understanding Shape

  2. Objectives • To develop knowledge of the vocabulary and terminology of shape. • To consider activities to develop children's understanding of shape. • To examine progression in shape.

  4. Four-bidden Four Sides Right Angles Equal Answer: Square

  5. Four-bidden Answer word: Cylinder Circular Curved Three Prism

  6. Definitions “ A rectangleis any quadrilateral with four right angles. This either has to have a length which is different from its width (a shape that is correctly called an oblong) or it has all four sides equal (which is called a square).”

  7. Name These Shapes!

  8. Orientation of Shapes Children need to see shapes in different orientations.

  9. Sorting Shapes! Is there a right angle? NO YES Are 2 of the sides equal? Are 2 of the sides equal? YES NO NO YES Is there an obtuse angle? Are all 3 sides equal? NO YES YES NO

  10. Sorting Shapes! Shapes with at least one right angle Triangles

  11. Sorting Shapes! Has reflective symmetry Does not have reflective symmetry Has a right angle Does not have a right angle

  12. Sorting Shapes!

  20. Pitch and Expectations

  21. Key Stage 1 Level 3 2003 Sita had a square She cut a triangle of this size off each corner What is the name of the shape that is left? Tick it. square pentagon hexagon heptagon octagon

  22. Key Stage 2 2003 These diagrams show the diagonals of three quadrilaterals. Write the names of the quadrilaterals in the boxes.

  23. ICT • Polygon • Fixing Points • Calculating Angles • Isometric Grid • Symmetry • ICT Pack (What’s My Angle?)

  24. Key Messages • The vocabulary associated with shape and space is crucial to extending children’s learning. • Children must be provided with lots of opportunities to explore, investigate and reason about shapes.
