Targeting Level 4 in Year 7: Section Three - Shape and Space Lessons

The lessons, from the Targeting Level 4 programme by the National Strategies, are designed to support teachers working with year seven students who need to consolidate work at level three and extend into level four. The lessons, which are quite detailed, focus on teaching strategies to address the stated learning objectives. They also provide support for teaching assistants working under the supervision of a teacher.

The Shape and Space lessons are organised in units of work corresponding to the year seven intervention plan. Each lesson includes material to support about 30 to 40 minutes of direct teaching.

The resources focus on measuring angles, properties of triangles and rectangles, calculating angles and coordinates, properties of rectangles, classification of triangles including isosceles, equilateral and scalene, using coordinates in the first quadrant.

Solving problems and investigating in shape, space and measures are included within the lessons.
