Shape and Space - Symmetry and Angles

Every lesson includes an interactive fun PowerPoint for learning the lesson, a daily mental maths quiz on the topic, and a detailed lesson plan.

Why Students Will Love This Lesson

Students will enjoy exploring the concepts of shape and space through engaging, hands-on activities. The lessons are designed to be interactive, allowing students to experiment with movements and symmetry in a fun way. They’ll love creating their own right angle measurers and discovering symmetry in everyday objects.

Sample Questions:

1. Can you find something in the classroom that has a right angle?
2. What two items can weigh 100g together?
3. How many symmetrical letters can you find in the alphabet?

Overview of Week 6 Lessons Lesson 1: Shape and Space

• Learning Objectives:
  • Recognise and describe turning movements.
  • Understand angle as a measure of turn and identify right angles.
• Mental Warm Up: What do we know about the number 100?
• Educational Challenges:
  • Cut out a quarter of a circle to make a ‘right angle measurer’.
  • Find items with corners greater or less than a right angle.

Lesson 2: Shape and Space

• Learning Objectives:
  • Solve problems and recognise patterns.
  • Recognise and describe line symmetry.
• Mental Warm Up: I bought two items. Together they weigh 100g. How much could each of them weigh?
• Educational Challenges:
  • Find symmetrical letters and create a poster.
  • Make symmetrical patterns with paint and paper.

Lesson 3: Shape and Space

• Learning Objectives:
  • Solve problems and recognise patterns.
  • Complete symmetrical patterns.
• Mental Warm Up: Put these weights into order – heaviest first.
• Educational Challenges:
  • Create symmetrical patterns with paint and paper or pegs.
  • Find symmetrical letters for a poster.
