Problem-Solving Investigation: Understanding and identifying 2-D shapes (Year 1 Shape and Data)

Year 1 Shape and Data: Understanding and identifying 2-D shapes

This in-depth Maths Investigation will develop maths meta-skills, and enable children to learn to think mathematically and articulate mathematical ideas.

In-depth Investigation: Shape Wheels
Children make a sequence of coloured shapes, changing one attribute at a time so that the sequence can end where it started, forming a circular sequence.

This problem-solving investigation is part of our Year 1 Shape and Data block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a terms worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
