2. Identify and estimate common angles
   • Identify common angles
   • Estimate common angles in everyday objects
   • Use formal and informal mathematical language to describe and compare common angles
3. Construct two dimensional and routine three dimensional shapes

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

identify two dimensional shapes in the real world

identify rectangular prisms, cubes, pyramids, spheres and cylinders in the real world

identify 360°, 180°, 90° and 45°

draw 2D shapes and construct 3D shapes from nets.

Note: Where a specific volume and/or frequency is not specified, evidence must be provided at least once.
