Session 3: Shape and space

Introduction

How often do you have to work with flat shapes in an everyday situation? You may need to measure around an object or plan how you would like to lay out your room.

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • name common two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes
  • identify different types of angle
  • work out how far it is around a shape
  • work out the area of a shape
  • work out the volume of a cube or cuboid
  • use scale in drawings and maps.
