Shape & geometry

What children learn about shape

Reception names common shapes and builds patterns. Years 1 and 2 describe 2D and 3D shapes by sides, vertices, faces and edges. Year 3 introduces right angles and parallel lines, Year 4 classifies triangles and quadrilaterals, and Years 5 and 6 measure angles and calculate area and volume.

Drawing is a big part of geometry. PaperKind's isometric paper, graph paper and coordinate-plane paper are useful companions for 3D sketching, area work and plotting points.
