Angles

1.Understand that angles show a turn and are

measured in degrees

2.Know that a complete circle is 360degrees

and half a circle 180degress

3.Recognise and know the properties of acute

angles, obtuse angles and reflex angles

4.Use a protractor to measure angles less than

180degrees – to the nearest 10. Ensure

children estimate first to avoid confusion with

the two scales found on protractors.

5.Use a compass to draw circles with a given

radius.

6.Practise using a ruler to draw and measure

lines with greater accuracy – draw and

measure lines to the nearest mm

1.Pupils handle and name a wider variety of

common 2-D and 3-D shapes including:

quadrilaterals and cuboids, prisms, cones and

polygons, and identify the properties of each

shape (e.g. number of sides, number of faces).

2.Pupils identify, compare and sort shapes on

the basis of their properties and use

vocabulary precisely, such as sides, edges,

vertices and faces.

3.Pupils read and write names for shapes that

are appropriate for their word reading and

spelling.

4.Pupils draw lines and shapes using a straight

edge.

1.Teachers should extend pupils’ knowledge of

the properties of shapes, using more precise

mathematical vocabulary including polygon,

non-polygon and polyhedron.

2.Ensure pupils extend their use of the

properties of shapes. They should be able to

describe the properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes

using accurate vocabulary, including acute and

obtuse angles, turns and lines.

3.Ensure pupils practise measuring and

drawing straight lines in centimetres and

millimetres, and circles of different sizes with a

given radius using a compass.

4.Ensure they also understand the terms

horizontal and vertical lines.

1.Ensure pupils continue to classify shapes,

extending to classifying different rectangles

and triangles. 2.Ensure pupils continue to practise drawing

circles with a compass and use the related

vocabulary
