Key Topics to Revise
1
Lines: Straight and Curved
- A straight line goes in one direction and is the shortest path between two points.
- A curved line bends and is not straight.
- We use rulers to draw straight lines and round objects like bangles to draw curved lines.
2
2-D Shapes
- 2-D shapes are flat and have only length and width.
- They have corners (vertices), sides, and sometimes diagonals.
- Examples: Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Circle, Oval, Hexagon, Rhombus.
3
3-D Shapes (Solids)
- 3-D shapes have length, width, and height (thickness).
- They have faces, edges, and vertices.
- Examples: Cube, Cuboid, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone.
4
Tangrams and Tessellations
- Tangram is a Chinese puzzle with 7 pieces — 5 triangles, 1 square, and 1 parallelogram.
- All 7 pieces must be used without overlapping to form a shape.
- Tessellation is a pattern made by repeating shapes without gaps or overlaps.
