This was used as a recap activity at the end of a topic and demonstrated what they understood and provoked discussion of key terms e.g. 3D, 2D, parallel lines, vertices, edges, faces, equilateral, right angle etc.

Rotation of shapes on coordinate grids.

Space Themed Multiple Choice Multiplication Quiz, based on the 2, 5 and 10 times table. It worked really well when I have used it, the children wanted to do it every day! Can be easily adapted for other times tables. I have even changed it to be a shape themed quiz looking at shapes properties.
