It includes 5 days of differentiated lesson plans with:

• Learning Intentions & Success Criteria aligned to NSW and Australian curriculum outcomes

• Explicit teaching activities (I do)

CURRICULUM OUTCOMES

Australian Curriculum:

• Recognise and classify familiar two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using obvious features (ACMMG022)

NSW Curriculum:

• Outcomes:

  • Recognises, describes and represents shapes including quadrilaterals and other common polygons (MA1-2DS-01)

• Content:

  • Transform shapes with slides and reflections

    • Recognise that sliding or reflecting a shape does not change its size or features

    • Identify and create a slide (translation) or reflection of a single shape and use the terms ‘slide’ (translation) and ‘reflection’ to describe the movement of the shape

    • Make designs with symmetry from reflection using paper-folding, mirrors, drawings or paintings
