Two lines are perpendicular if they meet at a right angle.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel and equal sides.

Explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram

Maths

Use the area of a parallelogram formula to calculate unknown measurements

Explain how to calculate the area of a triangle

Use the area of a triangle  to calculate unknown measurements

Solve problems involving area and perimeter

Describe the relationship between scale factors and perimeters of two shapes

Draw and complete simple shapes by plotting positions on the full coordinate grid

Draw and translate simple shapes on the full coordinate grid

Reflect simple shapes in the axes on a full coordinate grid

Solve problems involving missing coordinates

In this unit pupils will explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram and a triangle describing the relationship between scale factors and side lengths. They will describe positions in all four quadrants drawing and translating simple shapes and reflecting them in the axes In the future unit pupils extend their knowledge of plotting coordinates by now plotting non-integer values.

In the prior unit pupils used knowledge of shape properties to draw, sketch and identify shapes. In this unit pupils will explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram and a triangle. They will describe the relationship between scale factors and side lengths of two shapes. They will describe positions in all 4 quadrants drawing and translating simple shapes and reflecting them in the axes.

In this unit pupils will explain how to calculate the area of a parallelogram and a triangle. They will describe the relationship between scale factors and side lengths. They will describe positions in all 4 quadrants.

Area, perimeter, position and direction

The base is the side which is perpendicular to the shape’s height.

Area is a measurement of a flat surface. It measures a 2D space.

The distance around a 2D shape is its perimeter.

Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape.

A scale factor is the multiplier between similar shapes that describes how large one shape is compared to the other.

Two shapes are similar when one shape can become the other after a resize, flip, slide or turn.

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position.

Any of the four areas made when a plane is divided by an x and y axis is called a quadrant.

The x and y lines that cross at right angles to make a graph or grid are called axes, which is the plural of axis.

Translation is a type of transformation. Every point of a shape moves the same distance in the same direction.

A reflection is an image or shape as it would be seen in a mirror.

If two shapes are the same shape and size as each other, they are congruent.

A vertex is where two or more line segments meet. The plural is vertices.
