Mathematics 1: Shapes

This activity uses coloured yarn to make shapes. Choose the yarn and then stretch it across the pegs. Students can make line segments or shapes and then work out the perimeter, area, angles, and more.

Help the construction team by dragging and dropping the right shapes in the pattern provided. You must scroll to find all the shapes to drag and drop.

This is a tablet-friendly game for students to identify and match circles, rectangles, squares and triangles. Each Shape Monster only 'eats' shapes that match its own body shape.

In this activity, students complete the pattern of different coloured shapes. It is a multiple choice game with three levels of difficulty. This games is tablet friendly and works on an interactive whiteboard.
