Recognise and classify shapes using obvious features

• Explore, manipulate and describe features of polygons

• Use the terms ‘side’, ‘vertex’ and ‘two-dimensional’ to describe plane (flat) shapes

• Create repeating linear patterns with shapes, including two-shape and three-shape patterns

• Compare, sort and classify polygons according to the number of sides or vertices

• Select and name a shape from a description of its features, identifying triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons and octagons

• Recognise that shapes with the same name may have sides of equal or different lengths

• Identify shapes presented in different orientations

Transform shapes with slides and reflections

• Recognise that sliding or reflecting a shape does not change its size or features

• Identify and create a slide (translation) or reflection of a single shape and use the terms ‘slide’ (translation) and ‘reflection’ to describe the movement of the shape

• Make designs with symmetry from reflection using paper-folding, mirrors, drawings or paintings
