Shape Games
These free online shape games will help you to recongise the most basic 2d shapes such as circles, squares and
triangles to the more complex 2d and 3d shapes. You can learn more about their features, including number of sides,
size of angles and tessellating patterns.

Sorting Quadrilaterals and Triangles
In this game you’ll progress from organising the triangles and quadrilaterals that pass by on
the conveyor belt into their correct groups, to looking at 3d shapes and their faces. In the first
section, are the triangles scalene, isosceles or equilateral? And how many matching sides do the
quadrilaterals have, if any? There are also some interesting discussion points at the end relating
to flat and curved faces and properties of the shape edges.

Fling The Teacher
A fun quiz with an unusual reward. Answer 15 questions all about 2d and 3d shapes and their
properties and then fling your teacher from a catapult, which you slowly build as you progress,
similar to ‘hangman’. Careful however, you must answer all questions correctly, just one wrong
answer means you will have to start from the very beginning. You can even design your teacher with
various hairstyles, skin colours and features to look like your very own teacher. Your teacher will
be impressed by your knowledge if you complete this, although perhaps not by the prize!
