2D shapes and their properties

Are these statements relating to calculation and properties of shapes always true, sometimes true or never true?

This challenge invites you to create your own picture using just straight lines. Can you identify shapes with the same number of sides and decorate them in the same way?

Shapes are added to other shapes. Can you see what is happening? What is the rule?

Here is a selection of different shapes. Can you work out which ones are triangles, and why?

In this activity, shapes can be arranged by changing either the colour or the shape each time. Can you find a way to do it?

The red ring is inside the blue ring in this picture. Can you rearrange the rings in different ways? Perhaps you can overlap them or put one outside another?

Can you design your own version of the Olympic rings, using interlocking squares instead of circles?

Cut four triangles from a square as shown in the picture. How many different shapes can you make by fitting the four triangles back together?

Can you each work out what shape you have part of on your card? What will the rest of it look like?

This activity focuses on similarities and differences between shapes.
