Shape, Position and Movement
How/When to use?
Use on Interactive White Board/laptops in school or at home to reinforce this area of mathematics.
SYMMETRY
Symmetry A good tutorial with audio to help pupils learn the names of different polygons and how to draw lines of symmetry on some of them.
Celebrity Shapes Find out about shapes both 2D and 3D and then try your hand at the quiz.
Sorting Shapes on a Venn Diagram Sort a variety of 2D shapes on a Venn diagram. Sort by one or two conditions.
Castle shapes Identify 2d and 3d shapes and their properties in the context of a castle. Use Venn diagrams to sort shapes according to their curved faces and vertices.
ReflectionsA teaching resource which demonstrates symmetrical patterns. You can generate random patterns and see if you can match the patterns. There is no check on whether you are right or wrong.
Axial Symmetry A simple demonstration of what axial symmetry is. View simple shapes and see the difference between horizontal, vertical and diagonal axes.
Symmetry A tutorial explaining rotational symmetry and line symmetry.
Rotational Symmetry An excellent teaching tool to demonstrate rotational symmetry in 2D shapes.
Polygon Playground A drag and drop activity where you can experiment with symmetry, tessellations or just design crazy patterns or pictures using shapes.
Symmetry Game This site can be used for a whole class discussion on properties of shapes or for demonstration of symmetry in 2d shapes.
COORDINATES
Billy Bug A fun way for children to learn co-ordinates. They have to feed the bug by locating the food.
Billy Bug and his all New Quest for Grub A coordinates game which includes negative numbers on the grid.
Coordinate Bingo A useful teaching tool for a whole class coordinates activity using different grids and including negative numbers.
Dino Dig A game where you are an archaeologist searching for dinosaur bones. You have to use the grid to put in the coordinates to see where to dig.
Coordinate Game Just what the title says. A simple game on coordinates.
ANGLES - TURNING
Position and Turning A fantastic interactive resource for demonstrating right angles, clockwise and anti-clockwise, compass directions and turns.
AREA AND PERIMETRE
Area of a Rectangle A superb teaching resource for learning how to work out the area of shapes including irregular shapes and rectangles. Useful for older primary-aged pupils.
Interactive Teaching Program on Area This interactive teaching tool can be used in a variety of mathematical contexts such as multiplication arrays, finding different shapes with the same area, nets and more. It is useful because there are different backgrounds such as dots.
Area and Perimeter Aimed at 10 to 11 year olds, this interactive lesson on area and perimeter shows you how shapes with the same area can have different perimeters. There are lots of examples to try.
Area and Perimeter of Irregular Shapes An interactive lesson on how to find the area and perimeter of irregular shapes which is presented in an appealing way with cartoon characters. There are examples to try at each stage.
Area of the Picture Drag a grid over the pictures to find their areas. You may wish to turn off the annoying audio.
