What is shape space and measure?

Shape, Space and Measure is one of two aspects that makes up mathematics in the current EYFS statutory framework. They explore the characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.

What shapes do they need to know in Year 1?

Year 1 children need to recognise and name the 2D shapes of rectangles, squares, circles and triangles. By understanding the properties, they learn to identify each 2D shape. For example, children can identify a triangle by knowing it has 3 straight sides and 3 corners.

What 2D shapes should Reception know?

In Reception and Key Stage 1, children will learn to name 2D and 3D shapes and will begin to understand their properties (numbers of sides, faces, edges, vertices, etc.). By the end of KS1, children need to know the names of common 2D shapes such as: rectangle, square, circle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon and octagon.

How do you find the measure of a shape?

Lesson Summary A regular polygon is a flat shape whose sides are all equal and whose angles are all equal. The formula for finding the sum of the measure of the interior angles is (n – 2) * 180. To find the measure of one interior angle, we take that formula and divide by the number of sides n: (n – 2) * 180 / n.

What is a 2D shape ks2?

2D shapes are shapes with two dimensions, such as width and height. An example of a 2D shape is a rectangle or a circle. 2D shapes are flat and cannot be physically held, because they have no depth; a 2D shape is completely flat.

What should a Year 1 child know in maths?

Year 1 maths – your child will be:

  • Counting up to 100 forwards and backwards.
  • Reading and writing numbers up to 100.
  • Reading and writing numbers up to 20 in words.
  • Counting on and back in twos, fives and tens.
  • Using a number line to put numbers in the correct order.
  • Recognising patterns in numbers.

What should my child know before starting Year 1?

Year 1 children will learn about:

  • Plants, identifying and naming plants and looking at their basic structure.
  • Animals including humans, identifying and naming a range of animals and understanding how and why they are grouped.
  • Everyday materials, looking at their properties.
