Year 3/4 Geometry Concept Cartoons, Reasoning and Mastery

A pack of 10 concept cartoons to promote reasoning on geometry topics, which can be used to provoke thinking, highlight common misconceptions, assess understanding or to promote mathematical discussion.

This pack can be used as a whole class discussion piece, or individually with students recording their reasoning in their maths journals or books (Each example is repeated in an easy to photocopy, 4 to a page format, for individual student work).

Learning Objectives covered in this pack:
• Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines.
• Recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them.
• Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn.
• Identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle.
• Describe the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes using accurate language, including lengths of lines and acute and obtuse for angles greater or lesser than a right angle. (Non- statutory guidance)
• Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations (Yr. 4 LO)
