Secondary maths collection
Welcome secondary maths teachers! Are you looking for quality assured resources, designed to make lesson planning easier? Spanning across multiple topics and key stages, this extensive collection, hand-picked by members of the Tes maths panel, is the perfect starting point...
Hand-picked by:
Names and properties of quadrilaterals
Lesson presentations and activities
Angles and Polygons, 2D Shapes
Key Stage: 3 ★★★
In this game, you turn over two cards. You get to keep those cards if you can draw a triangle which has both properties. Otherwise the cards are returned and the next player takes their turn.
The game provides a powerful and engaging context for working on properties of triangles/quadrilaterals.
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.
The file attached is a HTML file, which, when opened, automatically redirects you to the problem on the NRICH website.Reviews

An excellent resource, with a fantastic game to encorage and invigorate students to investigate properties of triangles and quadrilaterals. I shall definitely be using this resource. Thank you for sharing a fabulous resource.
Angles and Polygons, 2D Shapes
Key Stage: 3 ★★
Can you arrange eight of the property cards around the outside of this grid and then draw quadrilaterals in the grid which have the properties corresponding to both their row and column?
This game provides an interesting context in which to consider the properties of quadrilaterals (or triangles), and has a particular focus on the combinations of properties that are possible.

This is a great activity for pupils to play around with different criteria for triangles and see which combinations work well together and which don't work at all. The separate cards for triangles and quadrilaterals are also very useful, thank you

Many thanks from France !
This worksheet asks children to name shapes then draw them and decide why some shapes are more difficult to draw than others.

A powerpoint listing the properties of quadrilaterals including angles, equal/parallel sides, line and rotational symmetry and diagonals. Some slides/ideas taken from other resources credited below. Thanks to Owen134866 for the starter slide which the rest of the powerpoint is based on! (original resource found at: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/How-many-Quadrilaterals-6329853/) Thanks to bademola for the riddle questions (original resource found at: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Quadrilaterals-6129305/)

Excellent resource especially the quiz at the end as well. Thanks.
All triangles and quarilaterals plus a regular polygon slide with 8 statements that students must decide whether they are always, sometimes or never true. This should create discussion. I have said that squares are a type of rectangle, and a rhombus is a type of parallelogram.

A very comprehensive resource. Thank you for sharing.
A simple sheet where they have to link the shape to the properties - made for a purpose but other may find it useful.
