Properties of 2D Shapes

 

Students learn how to recognise and describe the unique properties of 2D shapes.

Later, as learning progresses, they sort 2D shapes based on their features.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to classify two-dimensional shapes according to their edges and vertices.
  • Most students should be able to classify two-dimensional shapes according to their edges, vertices and reflective symmetry.
  • Some students should be able to classify two-dimensional shapes according to their edges, vertices and reflective and rotational symmetry.
