Mathematics – Multi-age – Year A – Unit 5
New shapes can be made by joining (combining) or partitioning (breaking apart) existing shapes – exploring two-dimensional shapes' attributes and features.

In this unit students will learn to:
- identify and describe two-dimensional (2D) shapes
- explore how shapes can be made by joining (combining) and breaking apart (partitioning) existing shapes
- classify shapes based on their attributes as that shape (features of triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, quadrilaterals, hexagons, octagons, polygons)
- manipulate shapes and objects to halve them in different ways. Sometimes, halves are made up of more than one part
- describe the position as about halfway, more than halfway or less than halfway
- create new shapes by adding or removing sides and vertices (corners)
- explore how 2D shapes can be classified into different categories according to their features
- turn shapes to fit into a space or create a design
- create linear patterns with shapes that transform (slide and reflections)
- make designs which have a line of symmetry.
