Properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects

Early First Second Third Fourth
I enjoy investigating objects and shapes and can sort, describe and be creative with them.
I have explored simple 3D objects and 2D shapes and can identify, name and describe their features using appropriate vocabulary.
Having explored a range of 3D objects and 2D shapes, I can use mathematical language to describe their properties, and through investigation can discuss where and why particular shapes are used in the environment.
Having investigated a range of methods, I can accurately draw 2D shapes using appropriate mathematical instruments and methods.
I have explored the relationships that exist between the sides, or sides and angles, in right angled triangles and can select and use an appropriate strategy to solve related problems, interpreting my answer for the context.
  I can explore and discuss how and why different shapes fit together and create a tiling pattern with them.
Through practical activities, I can show my understanding of the relationship between 3D objects and their nets.
  Having investigated the relationships between the radius, diameter, circumference and area of a circle, I can apply my knowledge to solve related problems.
    I can draw 2D shapes and make representations of 3D objects using an appropriate range of methods and efficient use of resources.
