Step 3: Start lesson 1 and have a look around

Students will explore compass directions and writing instructions through a fun activity that involves designing a space treasure map.

Students will use turns and compass directions to identify a code. They will explore quarter, half, three-quarter and full turns using north, east, south and west to direct the turns. They will use turns and compass directions to identify codes.

Students will explore angles such as right angles, obtuse angles and acute angles. They will go on a angle hunt to find and identify different angles.

Students will identify and explore the properties of vertical, horizontal, perpendicular, intersecting and parallel lines. Students will complete drawing challenges using different line types.

Students will draw, investigate and identify the properties of different 2D shapes.

Students will create 2D shapes using dot boards and describe their properties.

Students will explore lines of symmetry in shapes and pictures.

Students will explore the properties of 3D shapes. They will create shape profiles to identify their properties.

Students will create 3D shapes using their own construction supplies.

Students will use clues to identify different 2D and 3D shapes in a ‘Mystery Box’ activity.

This is a summative assessment that covers the key objectives from this geometry unit.
