Investigating 2D shapes

12th Jan 2017

P5/6 love investigating.  Last week they investigated 2D shapes and their properties.  They discovered lots of interesting facts by drawing and cutting.  Some facts they discovered are: by adding one line to a square, you can make two triangles; by adding one line to a pentagon, you can make a triangle and a trapezium; and by adding three lines to a hexagon, you can make six triangles.  They discovered lots of other interesting information about 2D shapes and worked really hard to make beautiful, eye-catching patterns.
