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?
