Angles in triangles (age 7+)
Recognise and draw shapes having specified attributes (e.g. a given number of angles or equal faces); identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes
Suggested ages 7–8
Learning journey
Your child is learning about shapes, angles, and lines — identifying different types of angles and lines, drawing 2D shapes and building 3D models, and understanding how angles work as turns and properties of shapes.
Evidence of understanding
- Draw a shape with exactly 5 sides (pentagon)
- Identify all quadrilaterals in a set of mixed shapes
- Name and draw a hexagon, explaining it has 6 sides and 6 angles
Assessment prompt
If Angles in triangles (age 7+) is given instructions like "draw a shape with 5 sides" or "draw a shape with all equal angles," can they draw it correctly?
