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. |
