Shape Patterns

Shape Patterns is a sequencing game where children from 3 to 8 years of age need to complete the pattern of different coloured 2D shapes. Three levels of difficulty.

Shape Monsters

The Shape Monsters game is an introduction to 2D shapes for young children. Children need to feed the monsters with the correct shapes. The monsters then say the name of the shape they've eaten.

Shifting Shapes

Can you name the 2D and 3D shapes? The game from ictgames has a draggable torch shining on a hidden shape. You can move the torch to guess the name of the shape and then click the 'eye' to see if you were right.

Sorting 3D Shapes on a Venn Diagram

An activity where you use a Venn diagram to sort a variety of 3D shapes according to their properties, including: whether they are pyramids or prisms, the number of faces, edges and vertices and whether they have a curved surface.

Cube Nets

See if you can predict which of these nets form into a cube. Make your prediction and then watch the animation to see if you were right.

Analyse Triangular Prisms Lesson Part 1

In this lesson you will learn how to analyse triangular prisms by locating and assessing pairs of congruent triangular faces.

Pattern Shapes

Try making patterns, tessellations or pictures with shapes. Explore geometry and fractions or investigate symmetry. Great for demonstrating protractors and measuring angles in shapes.

Geometric Solids

A teaching tool, which works well on an interactive whiteboard, which is good for learning about solid shapes and their properties. Explore the number of faces, edges and vertices. There are lesson plans which demonstrate how the tool can be used.

Symmetry Shapes

A teaching resource for demonstrating symmetry on IWBs and iPads.

3D Geography

A fantastic site packed with information about geography and free teaching resources. Fun things to make to help children understand geography.
