Shape resources

Students identify similar shapes of all sizes from a given drawing.

Students identify different shapes from clues about their properties and then create their own clues to share with a buddy.

Students use a given number of multi-link cubes to build two buildings with different heights.

In this practical task, students draw pictures of 3-dimensional prisms onto a square grid. A net for each prism is provided.

In this practical task, students construct 3-dimensional shapes from nets (provided), and then draw them on a grid.

Students write short paragraphs using geometrical terms to describe two pictures. The terms equilateral, scalene, and isosceles are to be used to describe a castle. The words circumference, diameter, and radius are to be used to describe a bicycle.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard cube to hold a tennis ball. They then cut out and construct the cube.

In this practical task students design a net for a lidded cardboard box to hold 3 "chocolate bars" represented by hundreds blocks. They then cut out and construct the box.

Students compare the area of two different triangles.

Students are required to use trigonometry to calculate the length of one side of a right-angled triangle in three problems based on a ski lift, a toy sail boat and a penguin on an iceberg.

Students use trigonometry to find missing distances in three everyday problems.

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 identify the number of faces for different 3-dimensional cube models.

Students identify the number of visible faces on 3-dimensional cube models.

Students identify shapes that have been projected on a screen.

Students write down the names of the 2-dimensional shapes that a Geo Bird is constructed from.

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

In this practical task students predict what the widthwise and lengthwise cross-sections of a selection of fruit and vegetables would look like.

Students find out the length of the sides of triangles using Pythagoras' theorem, and show their working.

In the context of kicking a goal at rugby, students use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate distance. Students then use trigonometry to work out if the kick passes through the posts.

In this practical task students use straws to construct skeleton models of 3-dimensional shapes from given drawings.

In this practical task students use multi-link cubes to construct two 3-dimensional models from pictures of each model from two different viewpoints.

In this practical task, students use multi-link cubes to construct two 3-dimensional models from pictures of each model from two different viewpoints.

Students identify shape properties in a range of different shapes.
