Area & Volume Formulae

Crib sheet of area & volume formula, includes parallelogram, trapezium, prism, cylinder, sphere, cone...

Quadrilaterals

Cards such as 'rotational symmetry order 2', '2 pairs of parallel angles' etc. Print off the cards, cut them up and have pupils match them to the correct quadrilateral. Variations of the activity include matching as many cards to a shape as possible or matching as few to a shape to describe only that quadrilateral. A powerpoint of the quadrilaterals or download both as a zip file.

Square Tangram A

Borrowed from the NRich Maths website (or more specifically this page). Drag them & rotate them, fit the peices together to make a square. Thanks Ellie for finding this!

Square Tangram B

Borrowed from the NRich Maths website (or more specifically this page). A harder version of the puzzle above.

Pentominoes

A nice shape & space activity for pupils to 'generally play around with'!

Tangrams

More nice shape & space activities, this time involving tangrams. Heres a Powerpoint of 2 sqaures from which pupils can draw and then cut out their own tangrams.

Hexagons

Like dominoes, fit the hexagons together. Is there more than one way to do it?!

Tesselation 1

Arrange the shapes to leave no gaps. Rotations & reflections are essential!

Tesselation 2

Arrange the shapes to leave no gaps, again!

Area of Triangles, Parallelograms and Trapeziums

No interactivity here. Just a simple yet colourful slide of relevant formula.

Polygons

Can you click on the names of the polygons in the order of the number of sides? Harder than it looks!
