Properties of Shape - Assessment

The Year 4 assessment on Properties of Shape challenges students to demonstrate their understanding of various geometrical concepts. The assessment includes a series of statements about triangles and angles that students must judge as true or false. For example, they must decide whether a scalene triangle can have a right angle, if a right-angled triangle always has one 90-degree angle, and if all sides of an isosceles triangle are equal. Additionally, students are tasked with drawing lines to create specified angles and ordering angles from smallest to largest, which tests their ability to identify and differentiate between acute, right, and obtuse angles.

Further exercises require students to exhibit their knowledge of symmetry by drawing lines of symmetry on given shapes and completing patterns to reflect symmetrical properties. The assessment also evaluates the students' ability to recognise and name quadrilaterals based on given properties, such as having unequal sides, right angles, and parallel lines. They need to circle the correct quadrilateral that fits the description and write down the names of specific quadrilaterals, including one with more than two lines of symmetry. To gauge their confidence in the subject, students are asked to rate how confident they feel about properties of shape on a scale of one to five. This comprehensive assessment covers a wide range of topics within the properties of shapes, ensuring a thorough understanding of Year 4 geometry standards.
