Shape and Space - Shape and Space

  1. Step 1
    Identify lines of symmetry in simple shapes and recognise shapes with no lines of symmetry. View step.

  2. Step 2
    Classify polygons, using criteria such as number of right angles, whether or not they are regular, and symmetry properties. View step.

  3. Step 3
    Recognise perpendicular and parallel lines, and properties of rectangles. View step.

  4. Step 4
    Recognise and visualise the transformation and symmetry of 2-D shapes, including reflection in given mirror lines and line symmetry.

     
    Construct 3-D models by linking given faces or edges. View step.

  5. Step 5
    Identify parallel and perpendicular lines; know the sum of angles at a point, on a straight line and in a triangle and recognise vertically opposite angles. View step.

     
    Use a ruler and protractor to measure and draw lines to the nearest millimetre and angles, including reflex angles, to the nearest degree. View step.

     
    Recognise and visualise the transformation and symmetry of a 2-D shape:
    • reflection in given mirror lines and line symmetry;
    • rotation about a given point and rotational symmetry.
