Geometry teacher instructions

The Year 5 Geometry Teacher Instructions booklet is an essential resource for educators aiming to cover the curriculum's Geometry objectives effectively. Each activity within the booklet is aligned with specific objectives, which are clearly indicated at the start of each page. For ease of use, the booklet lists the necessary equipment or resources for each activity. To cater to different classroom dynamics and learning styles, the activities are marked with symbols that suggest whether they are most suitable for the whole class, small groups, or pairs.

Teachers have the flexibility to incorporate these activities into their lesson plans at various stages. They can be used at the START of a lesson to refresh or assess prior knowledge, in the MAIN part of the lesson to reinforce new concepts, or towards the END to evaluate students' understanding and progress. The booklet is designed to complement and enhance the existing teaching materials and can be particularly beneficial for children who require additional support through intervention groups. Additionally, the KS2Gems website offers further resources that complement the booklet, including Geometry Vocabulary, grid templates, digit cards for degrees, and exercises on angles, translations, and reflections.
