Angles in triangles (age 7+)

Recognise and draw shapes having specified attributes (e.g. a given number of angles or equal faces); identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes

Try this together

If your child is given instructions like "draw a shape with 5 sides" or "draw a shape with all equal angles," can they draw it correctly?
