Problem-Solving Investigation: Draw and describe 2-D shapes and polygons (Year 2 Shape and Data)

Year 2 Shape and Data: Draw and describe 2-D shapes and polygons.

This in-depth Maths Investigation will develop maths meta-skills, and enable children to learn to think mathematically and articulate mathematical ideas.

In-depth Investigation: Cut and Paste
Children use Escher’s method of creating tessellations from rectangles and regular triangles or hexagons. Using the language of 2-D shape and symmetry they describe the patterns created.

This problem-solving investigation is part of our Year 2 Shape and Data block. Each Hamilton maths block contains a complete set of planning and resources to teach a terms worth of objectives for one of the National Curriculum for England’s maths areas.
