Geometry and Measurement resources

Students calculate the shortest distance between two points on a grid map by using a scale.

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

Students use time calculations to fill in missing data on a bus timetable, and answer questions from the timetable.

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

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

For this NEMP task students perform a range of practical measuring tasks including calculations involving time and selection of appropriate units of measuring.

Students convert millilitres to litres and vice versa when working out quantities of bottles and glasses of fizzy drink for a party.

Students construct a time line by selecting the best analogue time for a range of common daily activities.

Students order litre and millilitre capacities from smallest to largest, compare given capacities and explain how they know whether one is larger/smaller or the same.

This practical task requires students to use a 1 metre measure to estimate the dimensions of a room, and then calculate the volume of the room.

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

Students redraw a picture of a fish onto a distorted grid.

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 enlarge a diagram to a given scale.

Students select a true statement about the area of three shapes on a grid.

Students calculate the total area of a deck and a deck with an extension.

Students calculate the shapes with the largest and smallest perimeter and identify a relationship between the features of a shape and the perimeter.

Students calculate the height and base of two different triangles.

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

Students identify towns and cities on a map using compass points.

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.

For this task students are required to record, in a table, the compass bearings of objects shown on a submarine radar screen. Distances from the submarine are also recorded.

Students identify distances and mark positions on a treasure map with a scale.

Students use a plan of the school and a scale to answer questions about length and distance of buildings and courts in the school.
