Unit 21: Shape
Year 1
Students need this knowledge first
I can sort a collection of shapes by a feature such as number of sides, colour or size — Unit 14: Shape
I can name a circle, square, triangle and rectangle — Unit 14: Shape
I can find a shape within a real object, such as a wheel or a box — Unit 14: Shape

Instruction

Extension
I can make a named two dimensional shape from materials
I can build a named three dimensional object from blocks or modelling clay
I can name the two dimensional shapes I can see on the faces of a three dimensional object
I can say how many faces, edges and corners my object has
I can make a shape that meets a stated condition, such as four sides that are not all the same length
Success Criteria
Lesson 1: Making Shapes
We are learning to make two dimensional and three dimensional shapes and to name what we have made.

Extension
I can say one thing that is the same and one thing that is different about two shapes
I can compare shapes by the number of sides, the number of corners and whether the sides are straight or curved
I can recognise that two shapes with the same name can look different from each other
I can find a shape that matches a given one but is turned or a different size
I can say why size and colour do not change what a shape is
I can find a familiar shape or object in the room and say what it is the same as and what is different about it
Success Criteria
Lesson 2: Comparing Shapes
We are learning to compare two shapes by their features and to say what is the same and what is different.

Instruction

Extension
I can sort shapes into groups where the feature decides the group, not how the shape looks to me
I can say the feature that defines each group
I can place a turned or unusual shape into the right group and say why
I can find a shape that belongs in two groups when two features are used
I can say why a shape does not belong in a group
Success Criteria
Lesson 3: Classifying Shapes
We are learning to classify shapes using the feature that decides the group.
