Sorting 3D Shapes on a Carroll Diagram - Tablet Version

Sort a variety of 3D shapes according to their properties, including: whether they are pyramids or prisms, the number of faces, edges and vertices and whether they have a curved surface.

Game Objectives

New Maths Curriculum:

Year 2: Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces

Year 2: Compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects

Year 3: Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations; and describe them with increasing accuracy

Year 4: Compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes

Year 5: Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and cuboids, from 2-D representations

Year 6: Recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets

Year 6: Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons

KS2 Primary Framework:

Year 3:

Relate 2-D shapes and 3-D solids to drawings of them; describe, visualise, classify, draw and make the shapes (Block B)

Year 4:

Draw polygons and classify them by identifying their properties, including their line symmetry (Block B)

Year 5

Identify, visualise and describe properties of rectangles, triangles, regular polygons (Block B)

Year 6:

Describe, identify and visualise parallel and perpendicular edges or faces; use these properties to classify 2-D shapes and 3-D solids (Block B)
