Maths

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

In the prior unit pupils compared the size of angles with a clear visual difference and use the terms acute obtuse and reflex when describing the size of angles or amount of rotation with relation to right angles using a unit called degrees In this unit pupils will use knowledge of shape properties to draw, sketch and identify shapes
