Maths Plan Year 2/3 Shape and Angles

Carmen Pinker Wattle 3 2019 Term 2

Unit Aim: To provide students with the mathematical vocabulary, content knowledge and practical hands-on experience to describe and identify a range of 2D shapes and
3D objects and to identify and describe angles in the world around them.
