Shapes (Year 6)

In KS2 Maths, Year Six kids explore cool shapes! Think of a parallelogram, a kite, or a rhombus - they're like shape superheroes! You'll also meet the gang of regular polygons, from circles to dodecagons, and the 3D shape squad. Learn words like circumference, concentric, arc, and parallel – they're the shape secret codes!

Shapes with equal angles, like squares, are called regular. But what about shapes with different angles, like kites? We call them irregular – they have unique names like trapezium or even diamond! Make 3D shapes with card; they appear like magic!
