SHAPE, SPACE & MEASURES (B) - 2D and 3D shapes

  1. Call of Geometry: Quadrilateral Warfare - shoot down the correct quadrilaterals - awesome!

  2. Interactive Shape an online course... triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, classifying, locus, congruence from MathsNet.

  3. An Introduction to Tessellations by ThinkQuest.

  4. Cutting Corners - Start with a basic shape and cut its corners. This tool provides an excellent opportunity for students to talk about the names and attributes of shapes they do not regularly meet.

  5. Pictures and nets of the 5 Platonic Solids/Regular Polyhedra.

  6. 2D and 3D - Good info on 2D and particulalrly good for 3D shapes from the Birmingham Grid for Learning (BGFL).
  1. Build 3D models, view plan and elevations and rotate the building - Free building.
  2. Build 3D models with Easy elevations.
  3. Build 3D model with Harder elevations.
  4. Build 3D models with height numbers - free building.
  5. Build 3D models from pictures using height numbers.
  6. Copy the 3D building.
  7. Rotate the building until you see the right plan or elevation.
  8. Colour the red face on the plan and elevation given the 3D model.
  9. Colour the face on the 3D model given the plan and elevations.

  10. Geometry from the Land of the Incas. Problems, theorems, proofs, quizzes, with animations and sounds. Euclidean Geometry including amazing animations of solid shapes.
