You should now know that:
% To describe 2D shapes you need to use the words *
‘sides’, ‘parallel’ ‘equal’ and ‘angles’. e
To describe solid or 30 shapes you need to use *
the words ‘faces’, ‘edges’ and ‘vertices’
Ifyou fold a shape along a line of symmetry, one *
half of the shape will it exactly on top of the
other half.
The order of rotational symmetry is the number of
times the shape looks the same in one full turn.
You can describe triangles, quadrilaterals
and polygons by using their side, angle and
symmetry properties.
You should be able to:
Identify and describe 2D shapes.
Draw 2D shapes in different orientations.
Recognise and describe common solid or
3D shapes.
Recognise line symmetry in 2D shapes
and patterns.
Draw Lines of symmetry and complete patterns
with two lines of symmetry.
Identify the order of rotational symmetry.
‘Name and identify side, angle and symmetry
properties of special quadrilaterals and triangles
and regular polygons with five, six and eight sides.
Recognise and use spatial relationships in two
and three dimensions.
Draw accurate mathematical diagrams.
