Year 6 objectives
Year 6 progression to Year 7 objectives

Make and draw shapes with increasing accuracy and apply knowledge of their properties

Arrow to show progress from Year 6 to Year 7.

Construct a triangle given two sides and the included angle

Use correctly the vocabulary, notation and labelling conventions for lines, angles and shapes

Describe, identify and visualise parallel and perpendicular edges or faces; use these properties to classify 2-D shapes and 3-D solids

Arrow to show progress from Year 6 to Year 7.

Extend knowledge of properties of triangles and quadrilaterals and use these to visualise and solve problems, explaining reasoning with diagrams

Estimate angles, and use a protractor to measure and draw them, on their own and in shapes; calculate angles in a triangle or around a point

Arrow to show progress from Year 6 to Year 7.

Know the sum of angles on a straight line, in a triangle and at a point, and recognise vertically opposite angles

Use coordinates in the first quadrant to draw, locate and complete shapes that meet given properties

 

Use all four quadrants to find coordinates of points determined by geometric information

Visualise and draw on grids of different types where a shape will be after reflection, after translations, or after rotation through 90° or 180° about its centre or one of its vertices

Identify all the symmetries of 2-D shapes; transform images using ICT
