Max Maths, Year 4, Work Book, Classifying shapes

In the "Max Maths" workbook for Year 4, one of the exercises focuses on the classification of shapes, testing students' ability to group different geometric figures based on various attributes. Practice 2 presents a set of shapes that students are instructed to classify according to given criteria. For the first task, students examine a collection of shapes and must determine the correct groupings, which could be based on the type of shapes such as squares and triangles, a combination of triangles, squares, and circles, or by their colour, such as grey and red or green and red. Each correct classification is marked with a tick in the provided box.

The second task asks students to classify another set of shapes into three categories. They must discern whether the shapes can be grouped by colour, such as green and grey or green and orange; by shape, including triangles, rectangles, and squares; by size, distinguishing between big and small shapes; or by a combination of shape types, like squares and circles or triangles and circles. Students tick the boxes that correspond to accurate groupings. Additionally, there are exercises where students must identify and cross out the shape that does not fit within a certain group, further challenging their understanding of shapes and their properties.
