Geometry & shapes
Students study properties of shapes and angles. They learn to identify, classify, and describe 2D shapes such as squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. They also learn how to calculate the area and perimeter of 2D shapes. They begin to understand basic properties of triangles and quadrilaterals.
Position & direction
Students begin to explore simple reflections and translations.
Statistics
Students explore different tables and line graphs and use them to identify facts.
