Title: What shape
1 What shape?
- Please read the instructions first!!
2How to play
- This game is for two or even better two pairs of
players Teams A and B - Take turns to decide on the correct shape
answer. - You must explain to the other person/team why
you think you are correct, and how you worked it
out. While you are playing this game, you will
find out about 3D shapes!
3Team A goes first! Look at the shape and decide
which it is.
- A kite
- A rhombus
- A parallelogram
- Explain why you think you are right, BEFORE you
click!
4You guessed well !!!! It is a kite.
- How do you know?
- Adjacent sides are the same length.
- Now it is time for Team B to have a go. Please
click on the triangular prism for the next
problem .
5OOOPS! Please try again. Click on the cuboid to
go back to the question.
6Here is the second problem for team B this time
- There are two lines of symmetry.
- There is one line of symmetry.
- There are four lines of symmetry
- How did you work it out?
- Tell the other team before you click!
7You guessed well !!!! Two lines of symmetry!
- This is a rhombus and the lines of symmetry run
from angle to angle. - Now it is time for Team A to have another go.
Please click on the cone to find the next
problem.
8Sorry! Please try again. Click on the cone net to
go back to the question.
9Here comes the second question for Team A!
Has one set of parallel lines.
A parallelogram
Has two sets of parallel lines
Has three sets of parallel lines
10Thats brilliant !!!! Two sets of parallel
lines!
- The two sets are opposite each other. Now it is
time for team B to have a go. Please click on the
square pyramid for the next question.
11Please have another go at working out the shape.
Click on the cone to go back to the question.
12Team B please try this shape problem!
- An equilateral triangle
- A right angled triangle
- A parallelogram
- Name a shape with one right angle and three
sides.
13Well done! You are getting good at this! A right
angled triangle is the right answer!!
- How do you know? All triangles have three sides
and a right angled triangle has one right angle.
- The hexagonal prism net will take Team A to the
next shape problem.
14Please have another guess!The triangular pyramid
will return you to the problem page
15Now the next shape problem is for team A! We are
trying to make them a bit more difficult each
time.
Name a shape which has four right angles and four
sides which are the same length
A rectangle
A square
A rhombus
16Just right! A brilliant guess! Its definitely
a square!!
- Team B must whizz onto the sphere and go to the
next problem!
17Go on! Have another guess!The prism net is
waiting to take you back!
18This problem is here to tax team Bs brains and
make their cells buzz!
- An equilateral and a scalene triangle
- An isoceles and a right angle triangle
- An isoceles and an equilateral triangle
A brain cell
19You are stars! The two triangles are isoceles
and equilateral
- Team A must jump on the cube net to be beamed to
the next problem!
20AAAAAAArgh!!!! Error! Error!
- Please return to the question by using the sphere.
21Are you ready team A for this little problem?
- I have four lines of symmetry. Who am I?
- I am rhombus.
- I am a square.
- I am a parallelogram
22Correct! Well done! Whizzo! I am a square!!
- Now it is time for team B to press on any
shape to discover their next problem!
23Oh dear! Im sure you didnt mean to press that
one. Please press on the cuboid net to return to
the problem
- Have you worked out what a net is yet?
24The little problem for Team B!!
- I can be a square or an isoceles triangle
- I can be an equilateral triangle or a
trapezium. - I can be a scalene triangle or a rhombus
25You are so right!! The correct answer is square
or isoceles triangle
- You are now well prepared to play
- Quadrilaterals Connect Four
- a game of skill, ingenuity
- and your knowledge of
- multiplying big numbers!
- Team A need to get close to the equilateral
prisms to find their last problem! - !
26Oh no! You have made a slip at the last moment!
- Dont despair! Take the pyramid net back to
the problem and try again.
27The last problem for Team A!!
- I have got adjacent sides equal
- We hope you have kept on explaining to each
other how you worked out your estimate!!!
- I am an equilateral triangle
- I am a right angled triangle
- I am a kite
28Wow! Youre right!You can be a kite or an
equilateral triangle
- Well done team A! You are now ready to play
- Quadrilaterals Connect Four
- a game of skill, ingenuity
- and your knowledge of
- shapes! Here are two stars! You can pin them
on and tell team B to click on the cylinder to
get their last problem.
29EEEEEEEEK! We are sure that was a slip of the
finger.
- Travel by cone back to the problem.
30Team B!! Are you ready for your last brain taxing
problem?
- I have two pairs of parallel lines
- I am a scalene triangle
- I am a parallelogram
- I am a square
31I can be a square or a parallelogram
- Well done team B! You are now ready to play
Quadrilaterals Connect Four a game of skill,
ingenuity and your knowledge of shapes! Here are
two stars! You can pin them on, and clicking them
will take you back to the beginning of the game!!
32Sorry you have to try again!
- The cubeoctahedron will take you back. Good
luck next time!
