Geometry — shapes & properties

Naming, classifying and constructing 2-D shapes and 3-D solids.

Learning sequence 3 concepts

In prerequisite order. Each row is a self-contained “can-do”; open it for the full explanation, examples and resources.

  1. G1.1
    Naming 2-D & 3-D shapes
    Recognise, name & sort common 2-D shapes and 3-D solids; describe with faces/edges/vertices/sides.
     Stage 1–2
  2. G3.1
    Shape properties, nets & perspective
    Properties & classification of 2-D shapes (quadrilaterals incl. kite, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezium; triangles by type) and 3-D solids (incl. prism); right angle, perpendicular & parallel lines; draw with ruler/set square/compass; nets of cubes/cuboids; 2-D representations of 3-D solids / perspective.
     Stage 3–5
  3. G6.1
    Circles, angle facts & constructions
    Circles: radius, diameter, circumference, chord, disc as a set of points; angle facts (at a point, on a line, vertically opposite, parallel-line angles); angle sum of a triangle/polygon; perpendicular bisector & angle bisector; circumscribed circle; congruence & similarity; (KS3: Pythagoras, ruler-and-compass constructions).
     Stage 6
