Strand Progression Map

Foundation

• Name, create and sort familiar shapes and give reasoning
• Describe the position and location of objects in relation to other objects and people

Year 1

• Make, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features
• Give and follow directions to move people and objects within a space

Year 2

• Compare and classify shapes, describing features using formal spatial terms
• Locate and identify positions of features in two-dimensional representations
• Move position by following directions and pathways

Year 3
