Understanding Maths: Shape, Space and Measures

Understanding Maths is a series of books designed to reinforce skills and knowledge at Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. Each book focuses on a particular maths topic with explanations and teaching points, exercises, answers section and glossary of terms. Shape, Space and Measures explores the simple geometry of 2-D and 3-D shapes and coordinates and the use of metric measurements of distance, mass area and time. There are plenty of examples and practical activities - plus some fascinating facts along the way. The Shape, Space and Measures book includes: angles, 2-D and 3-D shapes, coordinates, reflective symmetry, measurement conversions (mass/capacity/time/area/perimeter) and reading scales.
