What shape?
Please read the instructions
first!!
How to play
This game is for two or even better
two pairs of players: Teams A and
B:
Take turns to decide on the correct shape answer.
You must explain to the other person/team why you
think you are correct, and how you worked it out.
While you are playing this game, you will find out
about 3D shapes!
Team A goes first! Look at the
shape and decide which it is.
A kite
A rhombus
A parallelogram
Explain why you think you are
right, BEFORE you click!
You guessed well !!!! It is a kite.
How do you know?
Adjacent sides are the same
length.
Now it is time for Team B to
have a go. Please click on
the triangular prism for the
next problem ….
OOOPS! Please try again.
Click on the cuboid to go
back to the question.
Here is the second problem for
team B this time…
There are two lines of
symmetry.
There is one line of symmetry.
There are four lines of
symmetry
How did you work it out?
Tell the other team before you click!
You guessed well !!!! Two lines of
symmetry!
This is a rhombus and the lines of
symmetry run from angle to angle.
Now it is time for Team A to have
another go. Please click on the
cone to find the next problem….
Sorry! Please try again.
Click on the cone net to go
back to the question.
Here comes the second question
for Team A!
A
parallelogram
Has one set of
parallel lines.
Has two sets of parallel
lines
Has three sets of parallel
lines
That’s brilliant !!!!
Two sets of parallel lines!
The two sets are opposite each
other. Now it is time for team B
to have a go. Please click on
the square pyramid for the next
question….
Please have another go at working out
the shape. Click on the cone to go back
to the question.
Team B: please try this
shape problem!
Name a
shape with
one right
angle and
three sides.
An equilateral triangle
A right angled triangle
A parallelogram
Well done! You are getting good at this! A
right angled triangle is the right answer!!
•
How do you know? All triangles
have three sides and a right
angled triangle has one right
angle.
The hexagonal prism net will take
Team A to the next shape
problem.
Please have another guess!
The triangular pyramid will
return you to the problem
page
Now the next shape problem
is for team A! We are trying
to make them a bit more
difficult each time.
Name a shape which
has four right angles
and four sides which
are the same length
A rectangle
A square
A rhombus
Just right!
A brilliant guess!
It’s definitely a square!!
Team B must
whizz onto the
sphere and go
to the next
problem!
Go on! Have another guess!
The prism net is waiting to
take you back!
This problem is here to tax team
B’s brains and make their cells
buzz!
What
shapes
are
here?
An equilateral and a scalene
triangle
QuickTime™ and a
dec ompres sor
are needed to s ee this pic ture.
An isoceles and a right angle
triangle
An isoceles and an equilateral
triangle
A brain cell
You are stars!
The two triangles are
isoceles and equilateral
Team A must
jump on the
cube net to be
beamed to the
next problem!
AAAAAAArgh!!!!
Error! Error!
Please return to the
question by using the
sphere.
Are you ready team A for this
little problem?
I have
four lines
of
symmetry.
Who am I?
I am rhombus.
I am a square.
I am a parallelogram
Correct! Well done! Whizzo!
I am a square!!
Now it is time for
team B to press
on any shape to
discover their
next problem!
Oh dear! I’m sure you didn’t mean
to press that one. Please press on
the cuboid net to return to the
problem
Have you worked
out what a net is
yet?
The little problem for Team B!!
I have
two
equal
sides
I can be a square or an
isoceles triangle
I can be an equilateral
triangle or a trapezium.
I can be a scalene
triangle or a rhombus
You are so right!!
The correct answer is square or isoceles
triangle
You are now well prepared to
play
“Quadrilaterals Connect Four”
a game of skill, ingenuity
and your knowledge of
multiplying big numbers!
Team A need to get close to
the equilateral prisms to find
their last problem!
!
Oh no! You have made a slip at
the last moment!
Don’t despair! Take
the pyramid net back
to the problem and
try again.
The last problem for Team A!!
I have got
adjacent
sides equal
We hope you have kept on
explaining to each other
how you worked out your
estimate!!!
I am an equilateral
triangle
I am a right angled
triangle
I am a kite
Wow! You’re right!
You can be a kite or an equilateral triangle
Well done team A! You are now ready
to play
“Quadrilaterals Connect Four”
a game of skill, ingenuity
and your knowledge of
shapes! Here are two stars! You can
pin them on and tell team B to click
on the cylinder to get their last
problem.
EEEEEEEEK! We are sure that
was a slip of the finger.
Travel by cone back to
the problem.
Team B!! Are you ready for your
last brain taxing problem?
I have two
pairs of
parallel lines
I am a scalene triangle
I am a parallelogram
I am a square
I can be a square or a
parallelogram
Well done team B! You are
now ready to play
“Quadrilaterals Connect
Four” a game of skill,
ingenuity and your knowledge
of shapes! Here are two
stars! You can pin them on,
and clicking them will take
you back to the beginning of
the game!!
Sorry you have to try again!
The
cubeoctahedron
will take you
back. Good luck
next time!
