Geometric thinking resources

Students demonstrate their knowledge of north, south, east, and west by giving the names of people shown on a plan of a forest park.

Students show their understanding of directions by identifying which child will be chosen in a circular game for which clockwise instructions are given.

For this NEMP task students use a grid map of an island to locate positions and describe ways to move from one position to another.

Students respond to and give directions about a simple path on a map involving right or left turns.

Students identify turns as left or right to describe a path taken on a simple street map.

Students describe a path (locus) drawn on a simple map of the zoo using the directions "left" or "right".

Students identify the 2-dimensional shapes on a robot's body.

Students drag and drop to sort 2-dimensional shapes into three categories based on the number of sides, curved sides, or corners the shape has.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving translation, reflection and rotation.

Students identify books on a bookshelf using the directions left and right.

Student identify the direction and amount of rotation a shape has undergone.

Students identify shapes that have been projected on a screen.

Students identify the 2-dimensional shape that cross-sectional slices of food make.

Students identify shape properties in a range of different shapes.

Students sort shapes using two attributes, and recognise where the attributes overlap.

This task requires students to draw in what the pattern on a bicycle wheel would look like after it has made clockwise and anticlockwise turns.

In this practical task, students cut out shapes from a folded piece of paper to recreate a pattern of symmetrical shapes.

In this practical task, students use drawings to identify the number of multi-link cubes needed to construct 3-dimensional shapes. They then construct the objects.

Students give the number of vertices, straight lines, and curved lines and complete sentences to describe different 2-dimensional shapes.

Students match descriptions of how many corners and sides 2-dimensional shapes have with their corresponding pictures and then describe one shape this way.

Students identify nets that can fold to make a cube and explain how they know.

In this practical task students use a grid squares overlay to estimate the area of six shapes by counting the number of squares each shape covers.

In this practical task, students use drawings to identify the number of multi-link cubes needed to construct 3-dimensional pieces of furniture. They then construct the pieces.

In this practical task, students use models of 3-dimensional shapes to complete a chart showing the number of faces, corners, and edges for each object.

Students identify shapes with given shape properties.
