2-D shapes (age 10+)
Draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles, using a ruler and protractor accurately
Suggested ages 10–11
Learning journey
Your child is developing advanced spatial skills — working with 3D shapes and nets, using coordinate grids with negative numbers, calculating angles, and understanding geometric transformations like reflection and translation.
Evidence of understanding
- Draw a triangle with sides 5 cm, 7 cm and an included angle of 60°
- Construct a rectangle with given length and width using a ruler and set square
- Draw a regular pentagon given the side length and interior angle
Assessment prompt
If you ask 2-D shapes (age 10+) to draw a triangle with sides of 5 cm and 7 cm with a 40° angle between them, can they use a ruler and protractor to draw it accurately?
