Shapes and objects
Use sides, angles, faces and vertices to describe and compare shapes.
Independent Pi Leo Academy learning material organised around the Victorian Curriculum F–10 Version 2.0 Level 4 descriptors; independent curriculum review is continuing. Year 4 is not an official NAPLAN testing year; NAPLAN is held in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It is not an official VCAA, ACARA, NAPLAN, government or IXL resource.

Descriptor-derived subskills
- D01Compare properties of two-dimensional shapesLocally derived from VC2M4SP01-C02 because the supplied practice rows identify or count individual figures but do not elicit comparison.
- D02Compare properties of three-dimensional objectsLocally derived from VC2M4SP01-C04 because the supplied practice rows identify or count individual objects but do not elicit comparison.
- D03Compare two-dimensional and three-dimensional propertiesLocally derived directly from VC2M4SP01-C05 to compare relevant properties across dimensions without asserting an external reference code.
