PROPERTIES OF SHAPES
PROPERTIES OF SHAPES
Objective 1g: Draw 2D shapes and make
3D shapes using modelling materials
Objective 4g: Identify right angles; know that 2
and 4 right angles make half and a full turn
respectively
Draw 2D shapes and name them
Make a range of 3D shapes using playdough,
clay
Objective 2g: Recognise 3D shapes in
different orientations and describe them
Describe a range of 3D shapes set out in different
ways
Objective 3g: Recognise angles as a
property of shape or a description of a turn
Know that the opening between two lines
joined at a point is known as an angle and can
be measured in degrees
Know that the measurement in degrees is
greater when the opening is wider
Know a right angle as having 90 degrees which is
written as 90˚
Know that two right angles effectively make a
straight line and is equivalent to 180˚
Know that 2 right angles make a half-turn
Know that three right angles make three quarters
of a turn
Know that 4 right angles is a complete turn
Objective 5g: Identify whether angles are
greater or less than a right angle
Identify angles that are smaller than a right angle
Identify angles that are larger than a right angle
Know that an angle smaller than a right angle is
known as an acute angle
Know that an angle larger than a right angle is
known as an obtuse angle
