Geometry Quiz - 2D Shapes

The KS2Gems 2023 Year 3 Geometry Quiz is an engaging and interactive PowerPoint presentation designed to help students identify 2D shapes. Each of the 10 shapes included in the quiz is cleverly concealed behind a blue screen, with four slides dedicated to each shape. The first three slides of each set gradually reveal more of the shape, prompting students to guess its identity before the final slide confirms the answer. This educational tool encourages the use of precise vocabulary and reinforces the properties of each shape, making it an excellent resource for use in various classroom settings such as a starter, plenary, or assessment activity.

Throughout the quiz, students are encouraged to engage in critical thinking by considering questions like "Which shape could it be?" and "Which shapes can it not be?" as each shape is slowly unveiled. This method of gradual disclosure helps to maintain interest and focus, while also allowing time for discussion and reinforcement of geometric concepts. The shapes covered in the quiz include a rectangle, triangle, trapezium, circle, heptagon, square, pentagon, parallelogram, right-angled triangle, and semi-circle. This variety of shapes ensures that students have the opportunity to consolidate their knowledge of 2D geometry through a fun and interactive experience.
