Our opening topic in Term 2 will be based around shape, perimeter and area. Included below are some useful YouTube clips that explain area, perimeter and shape with a modern twist. Please take time to watch these with your child so they are prepared when we return for Term 2. Please continue to work on TT Rockstars as this is essential in learning the timetables.
Below are example questions the students will experience as we move through each concept of shape. It is important that they work on understanding the properties of both 2D and 3D shapes.
Choose any 3-D shapes and complete the table below.
| Name of shape | Number of faces | Number of edges | Number of vertices |
| a) | | | |
| b) | | | |
| c) | | | |
Can you fill in the table to sort three shapes in to each category?
| Shapes that are quadrilaterals | Shapes that are not quadrilaterals |
