Geometry (Shape)

Recognising horizontal and vertical lines.

An introduction to parallel lines.

An introduction to perpendicular and parallel lines

measuring accurately using centimetres and millimetres.

More measuring to the nearest millimetre.

Draw straight lines to the nearest millimetre.

Follow instructions to draw shapes using vertical and horizontal lines.

How many letters of the alphabet have a line of symmetry? Make fantastic patterns using rotational symmetry as well as other symmetry activities.

Children have to recognise, know and describe the properties of some pretty tricky 3D shapes, including, spheres, cuboids and pyramids.

It's all about prisms. They are solid shapes that are the same shape and size all the way down. Well, that?s the easy way to describe them!

Identifying prisms from the properties of shapes.

Cutting out nets to make 3D shapes.

Templates for 3D shapes.

More templates for 3D shapes.

It would be a great idea to have a set of cubes which link together to help with these pages.

More about 2D shapes in this set of worksheets, especially quadrilaterals.

Identifying irregular 2D shapes: pentagons, hexagons and octagons.

It can be great fun moving shapes around and joining them to make other shapes, so why not try one of the investigations on these 2D shape worksheets.

Looking at the properties of 2D shapes.

Follow the instructions to draw the polygons.

Some vertices have been marked. Complete the polygons.

Follow the instructions to draw the shapes.

More shape work. This time making patterns with rectangles and triangles and investigating patterns using hexagons.

Recognising angles.

Finding shapes with right angles.

Angle is a measure of turn. Compass points, clockwise and anticlockwise turns and right angles all come into this set of worksheets.

Try to find the right angles used in various letters of the alphabet.

Reinforcing the idea that a right angle is a measure of turn. Clockwise and anticlockwise movements.

Count the number of right angles in shapes.

Recognising acute and obtuse angles.

Work out the angles between the hands on a clock face, saying whether they are acute or obtuse.

Tricky clockwise and anticlockwise turns on a clock face.

Colour the dolphins according to the instructions.

Understanding and learning the vocabulary of position.

An introduction to co-ordinates as a way of describing the position of objects on grids and maps.

A summary of the most important steps covered in Year 3.
