Classify shapes by properties
Draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles; recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets; compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangle, quadrilateral and regular polygon
What you'll learn
- 1
Imagine a door 🚪 — it has 4 straight sides and 4 right angles. That's a quadrilateral!
- 2
How many sides does a triangle have? 🟦
- 3
Here are two shapes. One has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles — that's a square. The other has 4 sides but only opposite sides are equal — that's a rectangle.
- 4
Let's classify this shape together: it has 4 sides, all equal, and 4 right angles. What is it?
- 5
Drag the shapes into the correct group: 'Quadrilaterals' or 'Not quadrilaterals'.
- 6
Which of these is a quadrilateral? 🟦
- 7
A square has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. What is it called?
