Geometric thinking resources

From a list students select the compass direction or directions that children on a playground grid need to move to reach pieces of equipment or objects.

For this NEMP task students draw the other half of a shape by using its line of symmetry.

Using grids, students show three different ways of tessellating four identical shapes.

For this practical task, students construct 2 different towers from multi-link blocks, then draw these shapes from 3 different views.

For this NEMP task student draw the cross section indicated on 6 different food items.

Students cut and glue shapes to complete patterns involving rotation.

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

Students identify shape properties in a range of different shapes.

Students identify shapes that have been projected on a screen.

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

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

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

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

Students draw top and side views of five different 3-dimensional objects.

Students draw the bird's-eye view of each of three buildings that are pictured.

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.

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.

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 identify place names that children on a map of Pirate Island will be facing after making clockwise or anticlockwise turns.

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

In this practical task, students use different colours to identify a variety of 2-dimensional shapes in a stained glass window pattern.

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".
