Shapes - Year 3 Mathematics

In Year 3, our work in Mathematics this week has been about "Shapes".

Learning objectives and activities in lessons include:
Recognise 2-D shapes; describe, visualise, classify, draw and make the shapes

Draw and complete shapes with reflective symmetry; draw the reflection of a shape in a mirror line along one side

Describe the properties of and sort common 2-D shapes and 3-D shapes and recognise them in pictures

Identify and draw lines of symmetry

Make a “Right Angle Tester”l

Identify right angles in shapes and as quarter turns

Follow instructions using vocabulary related to position, direction and movement

Recognise and use right angles to describe turns and corners of shapes

During each lesson, spend a short time “turning through 90* in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction.
