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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
