Description

Pirate Captains Hugh and Bert have been asked to aware the top prize in the Polygon Properties Picture Prize competition. 12 piratey painters have drawn some amazing polygon pictures. One point is awarded for each property connected with the lines and angles. The imagery is ideal for exploring properties of polygons.

  P6, P7

  Subjects:

  • Numeracy and Maths

  Topics:

  • Shape, Position and Movement

  Programmes of Study:

  • I can draw 2D shapes and make representations of 3D objects using an appropriate range of methods and efficient use of resources.
  • I can illustrate the lines of symmetry for a range of 2D shapes and apply my understanding to create and complete symmetrical pictures and patterns.

  Wales

  Step:

  PS 3

  Years:

  Year 5, Year 6

  Subjects:

  • Mathematics and Numeracy

  Topics:

  • Geometry focuses on relationships involving shape, space and position, and measurement focuses on quantifying phenomena in the physical world.

  Programmes of Study:

  • I can demonstrate my understanding of angle as a measure of rotation and I can recognise, name and describe types of angles.
  • I can explore and consolidate my understanding of the properties of two-dimensional shapes to include the number of sides and symmetry.
