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?
