Identify 2D Shapes Quiz

The "Identify 2D Shapes Quiz" by KS2Gems is an interactive PowerPoint designed for Year 4 students to enhance their understanding of geometry, specifically two-dimensional shapes. The quiz comprises a series of slides, each featuring a shape that is partially concealed behind a blue screen. Over the course of four slides, the shape is gradually revealed, prompting students to guess the identity of the shape using their knowledge of geometric vocabulary and properties.

Teachers are encouraged to engage students with questions such as "Which shape could it be?" and "Which shapes can it not be?" while the shape is being revealed. This approach not only tests the students' recognition skills but also reinforces their understanding of the specific properties of each shape. The quiz covers a variety of shapes, including an isosceles trapezium, heptagon, square, pentagon, parallelogram, right-angled triangle, dodecagon, semi-circle, kite, and decagon. The quiz is versatile and can be used in multiple sessions as a starter, plenary, or assessment tool to support the geometry curriculum.
