2D SHAPES

• Select simple shapes from common description of its features; for example. find a flat shape with four equal sides

• Classify two-dimensional shapes according to the number of sides

• Make plane shapes on a geo-board or using pattern blocks

• Identify one property of a shape

• Recognise lines, surfaces and planes, corners and boundaries of two-dimensional shapes

• Use the features of two-dimensional shapes to make comparisons and contrasts

• Arrange a collection of geometric shapes, such as a set of attribute blocks, using a Venn diagram, into subsets according to simple criteria

• Recognise when one set of shapes is a subset of another set of shapes.

• Identify two or more properties of a shape

• Recognise congruence of two shapes

3D SHAPES

• Recognise and name common three-dimensional shapes; for example. spheres, cubes, cones, cylinders

• Identify where familiar three-dimensional objects occur or are used in everyday life

• Identify by direct matching plane shapes occurring as faces of simple three-dimensional objects

• Recognise lines, surfaces and planes, corners and boundaries; of three-dimensional objects including pyramids, cones and cylinders.

• Pull apart three-dimensional shapes into their respective nets; for example. by cutting up boxes

• Make cross-sections of solid objects and begin to visualise them

• Make 3D models with clay, plasticine or cardboard

• Interpret diagrams and sketches of simple 3D objects
