2D Shapes
Key Stage: 2 ★★★
Choose which shapes you are going to allow, and how many pegs you will have on your board. Then, take turns to make permitted shapes on the board. You lose when you cannot make a shape.
This game reinforces properties of 2D shapes but, at the same time, the strategic element demands higher-order mathematical thinking. It is a great context in which to encourage learners to pose, and try to answer, their own questions.
This resource has comprehensive teachers' notes and resources, linked from the problem page. This includes possible approaches and key questions, as well as possible support and extensions.
