Geometry Quiz - Identify the Shape - 2D shapes

The KS2Gems 2023 Geometry Quiz is an engaging PowerPoint resource aimed at Year 5 students, focusing on the identification of 2D shapes. The interactive quiz contains a series of 12 different shapes, each cleverly concealed behind a blue screen. The shapes are revealed gradually over three slides, with the first two slides teasing the shape's form and the final slide unveiling the answer. This format encourages students to guess the shape using their knowledge of geometry and the clues provided.

Teachers are encouraged to use this quiz to stimulate discussion and reinforce the use of precise geometric vocabulary. By asking questions such as "Which shape could it be?" and "Which shapes can it not be?" students are prompted to consider the properties of each shape. The quiz is versatile and can be used in various classroom settings, including as a starter activity, a plenary, or an assessment tool. It serves not only to assess students' understanding of shapes like isosceles triangles, trapeziums, and parallelograms but also to reinforce their knowledge of shape properties in a fun and interactive way.
