Angle, symmetry and transformation

Early First Second Third Fourth
In movement, games, and using technology I can use simple directions and describe positions.
I can describe, follow and record routes and journeys using signs, words and angles associated with direction and turning.
I have investigated angles in the environment, and can discuss, describe and classify angles using appropriate mathematical vocabulary.
I can name angles and find their sizes using my knowledge of the properties of a range of 2D shapes and the angle properties associated with intersecting and parallel lines.
Having investigated the relationship between a radius and a tangent and explored the size of the angle in a semi-circle, I can use the facts I have established to solve related problems.
    I can accurately measure and draw angles using appropriate equipment, applying my skills to problems in context.
Having investigated navigation in the world, I can apply my understanding of bearings and scale to interpret maps and plans and create accurate plans, and scale drawings of routes and journeys.
I can apply my understanding of the properties of similar figures to solve problems involving length and area.
    Through practical activities which include the use of technology, I have developed my understanding of the link between compass points and angles and can describe, follow and record directions, routes and journeys using appropriate vocabulary.
I can apply my understanding of scale when enlarging or reducing pictures and shapes, using different methods, including technology.
 
    Having investigated where, why and how scale is used and expressed, I can apply my understanding to interpret simple models, maps and plans.
   
  I have developed an awareness of where grid reference systems are used in everyday contexts and can use them to locate and describe position.
I can use my knowledge of the co-ordinate system to plot and describe the location of a point on a grid.
I can use my knowledge of the co-ordinate system to plot and describe the location of a point on a grid.
I can plot and describe the position of a point on a 4-quadrant co-ordinate grid.
        I can apply my understanding of the 4-quadrant co-ordinate system to move, and describe the transformation of, a point or shape on a grid.
I have had fun creating a range of symmetrical pictures and patterns using a range of media.
I have explored symmetry in my own and the wider environment and can create and recognise symmetrical pictures, patterns and shapes.
I can illustrate the lines of symmetry for a range of 2D shapes and apply my understanding to create and complete symmetrical pictures and patterns.
I can illustrate the lines of symmetry for a range of 2D shapes and apply my understanding to create and complete symmetrical pictures and patterns.
Having investigated patterns in the environment, I can use appropriate mathematical vocabulary to discuss the rotational properties of shapes, pictures and patterns and can apply my understanding when completing or creating designs.
