Aim
• Draw 2D shapes using given dimensions and angles.
• Recognise, describe and build simple 3D shapes, including making
nets.
• Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties
and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals,
and regular polygons.
• Illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and
circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius.
• Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line,
or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles.

Ever Decreasing Circles
Challenge: write an algebraic expression that shows the
relationship between the diameter (d) and the radius (r) of a
circle.
The 1st (outermost)
circle has a radius of
5.5cm. The diameter
decreases by 2cm
each time.
Find the radius of
the:
a)2nd circle;
b)3rd circle;
c)4th circle;
d)6th circle.

Crossing Contrails
Aeroplanes leave visible contrails (condensation trails) behind
them in the sky. This lets you see where they have crossed paths
with other aeroplanes.
Work out missing lettered angles on these crossing contrails.
