Understanding and Connecting
a
The learner
Explores shapes in the environment.
b
The learner
​Identifies and recognises shapes in the environment.
04.
c
The learner
Identifies and describes simple geometrical properties of some shapes.
Recognises and names common 3-D and 2-D shapes in different orientations.
d
Identifies 2-D shapes as the faces of 3-D solids.
Explores the combinations of shapes to create 2-D and 3-D models [taking into consideration their unique properties].
e
The learner
Compares properties [faces, sides, corners, vertices] of shapes.
Models 2-D and 3-D shapes using materials or through drawing.
f
The learner
Recognises square and non-square corners in the environment, identifying square corners as right angles, or a quarter of a turn.
Dissects and/ or constructs 3-D shapes using modelling materials.
04.
g
The learner
Explores and investigates properties of shapes including symmetry, lines and angles.
Analyses properties of shapes (For example: The nature of lines and angles)
