Properties of 2D shape project. Throughout the rest of this week, for maths, you are going to be researching and creating your own way of presenting information about the properties of 2D shapes. You should use the 2D shape vocabulary in the 'Y5 2D Shape Vocabulary' document uploaded below to help you. I have also uploaded a '2D Properties of Shapes Vocabulary Explanation Sheet' which explains some of the terms.  Your challenge is to research the properties of different 2D shapes, including regular and irregular shapes, making sure you incorporate all/as much of the vocabulary from the document below as you can. You should make notes in your maths book. Remember to include the short date and the title: Properties of 2D shapes. Once you have carried out your research, you will then need to find an interesting/creative way of presenting your information. You could create an information text, make the shapes and find a way of showing their properties, create a PowerPoint, create a video of you presenting about the properties of 2D shapes, make a properties of shapes spinner etc. The choice is yours, but the more inventive the better!  At the end of the week, I would love to see and share your final creations, so please send them to headteacher@netherseal.derbyshire.sch.uk.
