  • Describe, identify and visualise parallel and perpendicular edges or faces; use these properties to classify 2-D shapes and 3-D solids
  • Make and draw shapes with increasing accuracy and apply knowledge of their properties
  • Visualise and draw on grids of different types where a shape will be after reflection, after translations, or after rotation through 90degrees or 180degrees about its centre or one of its vertices
  • Use coordinates in the first quadrant to draw, locate and complete shapes that meet given properties
  • Estimate angles, and use a protractor to measure and draw them, on their own and in shapes; calculate angles in a triangle or around a point
