Max Maths, Year 3, Work Book, Regular and irregular 2D shapes

The 'Max Maths' workbook for Year 3 students includes a section dedicated to understanding regular and irregular 2D shapes. In Practice 1, students are tasked with drawing three different examples of each specified shape, such as pentagons, triangles, semicircles, squares, octagons, rectangles, hexagons, and circles. This exercise not only helps them recognise the variety within each shape category but also reinforces their ability to distinguish between regular and irregular forms.

Further exercises in the workbook aim to solidify the students' knowledge of shape properties. Students complete sentences to demonstrate their understanding of basic shape characteristics, such as the number of vertices in triangles or the number of sides in squares. They are also asked to draw in missing sides to complete given shapes, such as circles, rectangles, triangles, and pentagons. Additionally, the workbook includes a true or false section where students must decide if statements about shapes, like whether circles can contain right angles or if hexagons always contain a right angle, are always, sometimes, or never true. These activities combine to build a comprehensive understanding of 2D shapes and their attributes.
