2-D Shapes Revision for Y5/6

Whether you prefer the triangle because it’s the strongest shape or the rounded beauty of the circle, 2-D shapes are truly fascinating. The 49 slides in these two PowerPoints revise our two-dimensional friends: an area of geometry that is often forgotten about in Y5/6 as we often wrongly presume that the children have remembered everything from previous years.

However, children enjoy being challenged with knowing more than just the names and basic properties of shapes.

There are 49 PowerPoint slides covering 4 lessons:
• The Euclidean plane, open and closed shapes, links to 3-d shapes, polygons, regular and irregular shapes, parallel and perpendicular sides, lines of symmetry, sorting shapes using Venn and Carroll diagrams, and identifying shapes using decision trees.

Although aimed directly for those teaching Years 5/6, it is also relevant for any KS2 or Y7 teacher.

I will always appreciate some feedback on the content of the lesson and any improvements that could be made.
