Stage 2, Year A – Unit 12
This 2-week, Year A unit introduces the big idea that understanding relationships between the properties of 2D shapes helps visualise and organise spaces in the world.
Students are provided opportunities to:
- describe and compare features of two-dimensional shapes
- explore transformations through combining and splitting two-dimensional shapes
- learn how to estimate and find area using standard units of measurement.
