- Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line42
- identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces32
- compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects24
- compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes19
- Recognise, find and name a quarter as one of four equal parts of an object, shape or quantity18
- identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes17
- recognise and name common 2-D and 3-D shapes17
- use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement, including movement in a straight line and distinguishing between rotation as a turn and in terms of right angles for quarter, half and three-quarter turns17
- Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences16
- identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines15
- Mixed Maths15
- identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations14
- Talk about and explore 2D and 3D shapes (for example, circles, rectangles, triangles and cuboids) using informal and mathematical language: ‘sides’, ‘corners’; ‘straight’, ‘flat’, ‘round’.14
- identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed13
- Maths Vocabulary13
- Compose and decompose shapes so that children recognise a shape can have other shapes within it, just as numbers can.12
- Describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three- quarter turns12
- know angles are measured in degrees: estimate and compare acute, obtuse and reflex angles12
- describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all 4 quadrants)11
- identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations11
- plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon11
- Recognise and name common 2D shapes10
- Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn10
- angles at a point on a straight line and half a turn (total 180°)9
- Identify angles at a point and one whole turn (total 360)9
- Recognise and name common 3D shapes9
- Select, rotate and manipulate shapes to develop spatial reasoning skills.9
- compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons8
- complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry8
- describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant8
- draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes8
- identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to two right angles by size8
- Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn8
- Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes8
- Select shapes appropriately: flat surfaces for building, a triangular prism for a roof, etc.8
- Identify whether angles are greater or less than a right angle7
- Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres7
- Recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa7
- recognise when it is possible to use formulae for area and volume of shapes7
- Solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is known or can be found7
- Combine shapes to make new ones – an arch, a bigger triangle, etc.6
- describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down6
- distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on reasoning about equal sides and angles6
- draw given angles, and measure them in degrees6
- illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius6
- Recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them6
- write simple fractions for example, 1/2 of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of 1/2 and 2/46
- describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns5
- draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles5
- Draw polygons, specified by coordinates in the first quadrant, and translate within the first quadrant5

- recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity5
- calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares), including using standard units, square centimetres (cm²) and square metres (m²), and estimate the area of irregular shapes4
- Find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares4
- recognise, find and name a half as one of two equal parts of an object, shape or quantity4
- Continue, copy and create repeating patterns.3
- draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them3
- draw given angles, and measure them in degrees (°)3
- Extend and create ABAB patterns – stick, leaf, stick, leaf.3
- identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes, [for example, a circle on a cylinder and a triangle on a pyramid]3
- use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles3
