Shape, Position and Movement Games

• 

  2D Shape Reveal

  An interactive whiteboard resource to help with the teaching and learning of the names and properties of 2D shapes.
• 

  2D Shapes Sorting Using Carroll Diagrams

  Sort 2D shapes on Carroll diagrams. There are four levels of difficulty and sorting is by two variable criteria. Squares are classed as rectangles as they are special case rectangles.
• 

  Symmetry Matching

  Symmetry matching game involving mirroring pictures, shapes and patterns along lines of symmetry.
• 

  Symmetry Sorting

  Sort the pictures, shapes and letters into symmetrical and not symmetrical sets.
• 

  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.
• 

  Area Builder

  A fabulous teaching aid and learning game site on areas, perimeter and fractions of shapes. You can toggle between one or two display areas which is useful if you want to compare different shapes.
• 

  Area Perimeter Explorer

  Create your own shapes with blocks and explore the relationship between perimeter and area. A useful teaching tool for demonstrating irregular shapes.
• 

  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.
• 

  Alien Attack

  Use your knowledge of angles in this game where you defend the Earth from aliens. You can either estimate the angles or read them from a protractor.
• 

  Show the Coordinate

  A game which reinforces skills in finding coordinates. There is progression up to a 4 quadrant grid. Find the coordinates against the clock but take great care so you can get a 20 correct in a row.
• 

  Find Places on a Grid Map

  Use this rainforest game to get some practise using coordinates on a map. Follow the instructions to find four locations on the map.
• 

  Make a Rainforest Walking Track

  A primary maths game where you mark the route for a walking track on a rainforest map by following instructions to choose sections on track based on distances, compass directions and coordinate references.
• 

  Tessellation Creator

  A useful resource for making tessellation patterns using regular polygons. What kind of tessellations can you make out of regular polygons?
• 

  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.
• 

  ITP Coordinates

  This resource from Mathsframe allows you to use a marker to identify the coordinates of points on different grids. You can mark points and draw lines and shapes in either 1, 2 or 4 quadrants.
• 

  ITP Fixpoints - Using a Protractor

  Create angles using a grid and then measure them using the protractor. Their values can be displayed or hidden. For reflex interior angles the value of the exterior angle is shown.
• 

  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.
• 

  Cubes

  A super tool for demonstrating volume and surface area. There is an option to create your own size of cuboid.
• 

  Geoboard

  A wonderful teaching resource for exploring shapes. Choose from three different geoboard designs and stretch out the bands to make your shapes.
• 

  Geoboard by Didax

  You can create all sorts of 2D shapes with the bands on this Geoboard. There are two grids to choose from: circular and rectangular.
• 

  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.
• 

  Pienado

  A 2D shapes adventure game where your mission is to plug the holes in the forcefield. This game can help develop spatial awareness.
• 

  Pattern Blocks

  Have fun making your own shapes and tessellating patterns or see if you can complete the pattern puzzles.
• 

  Tangram Builder

  Can you complete these tricky Tangram puzzles? Excellent for testing your spatial awareness.
• 

  Interactive Teaching Program on Area

  This interactive teaching tool can be used in a variety of mathematical contexts such as multiplication arrays, finding different shapes with the same area, nets and more. It is useful because there are different backgrounds such as dots.
• 

  Symmetry Invaders

  Defend your planet from the invaders. You must complete each alien's symmetry to destroy it but be careful because if you miss they will fire back. There are 20 levels.
• 

  High Rise

  Calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares.
• 

  Home Improvement

  A tutorial which explains how to find the area of squares and rectangles. There are examples for you to try to work out.
