Shape Patterns
Shape Patterns is a shapes sequencing game. Complete the pattern of different coloured 2D shapes. There are 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 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.
2D Shape Reveal
An interactive whiteboard resource to help with the teaching and learning of the names and properties of 2D 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.
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.
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.
Shape Escape
Do you know the names of 2-D shapes and their properties? See if you know how many sides and vertices they have and if you can recognise correct lines of symmetry.
