PROCEDURAL
Mathematics›Geometry|Ages 5—6|ID: mt_2VR963szuk

Model shapes by building from components (e.g. sticks and clay balls) and by drawing

Mastery Evidence

  • Build a triangle from three sticks and three clay balls
  • Draw a recognisable rectangle
  • Construct a cube from straws and connectors

Assessment Prompt

“Can [child] build or draw a shape they've been shown — for example, making a cube from folded paper or copying a triangle onto dot paper?”

Show full prerequisite tree
  • 3-D shapes (age 5+) hard

    Modelling shapes by building/drawing requires knowing their attributes (sides, vertices)

    • 2-D shapes hard

      Analysing and comparing shapes requires being able to name them first

    • 3-D shapes hard

      Analysing 3-D shapes requires recognising and naming them
