This shape worksheet, ‘All Mixed Up’ asks students to practise identifying the properties of basic two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric shapes.
This interesting learning activity, ‘Caught in the Nets’ includes a hands-on activity that shows students how they can make 3-dimensional geometric solids by working out the nets that form each one. Starting with a simple 8-sided shape, they will be able to create a much more complex icosidodecahedron. An answer sheet is provided and includes …More
This geometry and spatial sense worksheet, ‘Describing Shapes’ allows for practice classifying two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes using their characteristics. Answer sheet provided with file download.
The learning activity, ‘Inside Out’ uses triangles to help students explore the properties of triangles and rectangles. They identify the interior and exterior angles of quadrilaterals then make predictions about the angles of other shapes. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes with suggestions for supporting learning and further exploration.
This learning activity, ‘Let’s Face It’, asks students to use regular polygon shapes to analyse the features of Platonic solids. It also asks students to research Plato and his conclusions. An answer sheet is provided and includes accompanying teaching notes with suggestions for supporting learning and further exploration.
The learning activity ‘Losing Your Marbles’ contains a variety of short problems for students to solve and discuss. Students need to use visualisation to support their spatial, numeric, algebraic and quantitative thinking. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes to support learning and further exploration.
The learning activity ‘Pieces of Eight’ contains a variety of short problems for students to solve and discuss. The problems engage students in thinking about the strategies they can use to solve problems that involve choosing fruit, solving equations, and examining a tetrahedron. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes to support learning …More
The learning activity ‘Teething Problems’ contains a variety of short problems for students to solve and discuss. Students need to use a range of strategies to support their thinking. The engaging problems involve a toothbrush, dominoes, and geometric shapes. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes to support learning and further exploration.
The learning activity, ‘Tiling’ provides opportunities for students to explore the ways in which shapes can (or cannot) tessellate. They experiment with different polygons and discuss why and how some shapes and combinations of shapes can be used for tiling. An answer sheet is provided and includes teaching notes with suggestions for supporting learning and …More
