This guide supports teachers to develop students’ geometric understandings.
Selected links to online resources that can support the teaching and learning of geometry for primary-aged students.
Selected links to a range of interactive online resources for the study of patterns and algebra in Foundation to Year 6 Mathematics.
This planning resource for Year 2 is for the topic of Shapes and objects. Students develop their reasoning when comparing and classifying shapes by their attributes. They develop the spatial language to describe shapes.
This planning resource for Year 7 is for the topic of Algorithms. Students are introduced to the use of algorithms for sorting and classifying. They can use flow charts to do this. Algorithmic thinking is a design process and flow charts are used to show a sequence of steps and/or instructions and require decision making ...
New shapes can be made by joining (combining) or partitioning (breaking apart) existing shapes – exploring two-dimensional shapes' attributes and features.
This two-week unit develops student knowledge, understanding and skills with two-dimensional (2D) shapes, three-dimensional (3D) objects and volume.
Collections of ten are really useful – this unit develops student knowledge, understanding, and place value skills, and how attributes can be used to sort objects.
Use this task to assess students’ knowledge and understanding of properties of shapes, and language they use when describing common features.
The focus of this activity is to encourage and support students to describe two dimensional shapes and three dimensional objects according to their features or properties.
A collection of diagnostic tasks designed to use with students to assess their understanding of space-related concepts in mathematics.
The focus of this activity is to discover what it is that students know about 2D shapes and 3D objects.
This game focuses on listening and matching shape properties to the correct shape, and using mathematical vocabulary to describe shapes.
This activity uses pattern blocks to explore patterns and the relationship between numbers. Students use the blocks to create and describe other shapes and since the blocks are relational they can be used for other investigations. For example, turn the blocks into units – if the triangle is one what is the value of the hexagon?
The focus of this activity is to discover the language that students are using to describe the features of shapes. Although students may know the names of many shapes, and may know the difference between a square and a circle, the description of why these shapes are different may not be mathematically accurate. Listen to ...
This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 2 Mathematics. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation ...
Watch this video to learn about the features of 2D shapes. How is it different from the features of 3D shapes (solids)? Some examples of solids that incorporate 2D shapes are mentioned in this video by Sanchit - for example, a cube has six square faces. What other 3D shapes could you make that has at least one square face?
This is a four-page HTML resource about solving problems concerning quarter turns of two-dimensional objects. It contains four questions, one of which is interactive, and one video. The resource discusses and explains quarter turns to reinforce students' understanding.
An interactive applet in which students classify triangles as isosceles, scalene and equilateral.
interactive activities that guide students to explore the interior and exterior angle sums of polygons.
