Composing and decomposing shapes involves two or more flat shapes. Students will have a basic vocabulary for simple two-dimensional shapes, so it’s important to teach new vocabulary and ensure students know what smaller shapes are hidden in the larger one.

See the fact file below for more information on the composing shapes or alternatively, you can download our 24-page Geometry: Composing Shapes K.G.6 worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

  • At the end of the lesson, students will be able to join simple shapes to form larger ones, e.g, combining three diamonds to create a hexagon. They will be able to describe objects in their environment.
