Making and proving statements using shapes and properties of shapes

The main activity in this lesson begins with asking children to make some true statements about a group of shapes (where the statement will be true for ALL shapes in that group).
From here the activity moves on to looking at a statement about a shape and seeing if children can find an example of a shape which proves this statement and another shape that disproves the statement. A sheet of shapes has been provided so children don't always have to draw shapes but can cut and stick instead.
This resource also comes with 3 introduction or follow up activities linked to shapes and their properties. There are instructions for drawing shapes with given properties; a Carroll diagram for sorting right angles and curved sides, and a table looking for the basic sides and corners of well-known 2D shapes.
