Year 5 Knowledge Organiser: Properties of Shapes

This Knowledge Organiser is designed to help Year 5 students deepen their understanding of the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. It covers the key characteristics of shapes, including the number of sides, angles, symmetry, and the relationship between their properties. Students will explore the properties of various polygons such as triangles, quadrilaterals, and other complex shapes, as well as the features of 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, and pyramids. The organiser also explains how to identify lines of symmetry, types of angles (right, acute, obtuse), and the difference between regular and irregular shapes. With clear definitions, visual aids, and examples, this organiser helps students confidently classify and compare shapes, supporting their development in geometry and spatial reasoning.
