Symmetry and properties of 2D shapes (five days).
Children learn the name heptagon and draw as many different looking heptagons as they can. They name and describe a range of polygons, for example if they regular or irregular, symmetrical or not, have right angles or not. The terms equilateral and isosceles are introduced; children sort triangles according to their properties and use equilateral and right-angled triangles to make symmetrical patterns. They imagine and draw polygons and investigate the numbers of lines of symmetry particular polygons can have, reaching a generalisation. They create patterns with one then two lines of symmetry.
