- find areas of circles
- devise and use formulae to calculate the area of trapezia and kites
- calculate volumes of prisms constructed from cuboids, e.g. within an L-shaped cross-section
- explore angles on parallel lines
- understand exterior angles of triangles
- know and use the angle properties of quadrilaterals
- find horizontal and vertical distances using coordinates
- use bearings to describe the location of one object in relation to another
- use compass bearings and grid references to specify location
