There is a printable page of shapes to go with this activity. Pupils can write on the page to name the shapes and show their properties such as parallel lines, lines of symmetry and equal angles.
Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops? This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments: Transum.org/go/?Start=January30 However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below. |

Here is the URL which will take them to a related student activity.
Do your students know how to make a database?
How about a shapes database?
Query the database about the properties of the shapes.
