Year 5 | Shape: Summer Block 1: Week 2 – Lesson Resource Pack

Year 5 shape lesson pack | Summer Block 1: Week 2

This Year 5 shape lesson pack focuses on developing pupils’ accuracy and confidence when working with angles and shapes. Pupils build on their prior knowledge of measuring angles to draw shapes precisely, calculate missing angles and apply key angle facts within a range of geometric contexts.

The week begins with pupils drawing lines and angles accurately using rulers and protractors, before applying this skill to construct shapes with given lengths and angles. Pupils then move on to calculating angles around a point and on a straight line, using their understanding of full turns and half turns to find missing values. Later in the week, pupils apply their knowledge of perimeter to calculate missing lengths in shapes, before bringing their learning together to calculate angles within shapes, including triangles and quadrilaterals.

Reasoning and problem-solving opportunities are woven throughout the lessons, encouraging pupils to explain their thinking, justify their methods and apply their understanding of angle relationships with increasing confidence. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
