Year 3 | 2-D Shapes, 3-D Shapes and Polygons Lesson Plan
Support your teaching of shape with this comprehensive Year 3 Maths Masters lesson plan. Across five carefully sequenced lessons, pupils learn to identify parallel and perpendicular lines, describe the properties of 2-D shapes, draw polygons, recognise and describe 3-D shapes, and construct 3-D models.
Aligned with the White Rose small steps, this lesson plan provides clear teaching guidance, lesson progression, key vocabulary, assessment questions and practical teaching suggestions for every lesson. Teachers can use the plan alongside the accompanying teaching slides, differentiated worksheets and activity cards to deliver a complete sequence of learning.
Pupils develop confidence in using geometric vocabulary to describe shape properties, recognising relationships between lines and angles, identifying the features of polygons, and comparing 3-D shapes using faces, edges and vertices. Practical investigations and shape-building activities help pupils secure their understanding of geometry concepts.
