6 Kite Shape What can you tell me about this special quadrilateral?
Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these kites?

10 Can you name this shape? What can you tell me about this shape?
Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes? Compare it to the kite – how are they the same, how are they different?

15 Name this shape What can you tell me about this special triangle?
Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Fold it in half and investigate the new shape. Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes?

19 This is a very common shape
What can you tell me about this shape? Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Can you fold it in interesting ways? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes? (The ‘omino’ activities are so interesting especially the ‘net of a cube’)

26 What is special about this shape?
What can you tell me about this shape? Look at the sides and angles . . . Explain what ‘parallel’ means. What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes?

32 This regular shape is a . . . What can you tell me about this shape?
Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes? (Try different ways to make the net of a triangular pyramid or tetrahedron Extension – try the net of an octahedron)

40 That was tricky . . . What can you tell me about this shape?
Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes?

48 That was easy . . . What can you tell me about this shape?
Look at the sides and angles . . . What about lines of symmetry? Will it tessellate with other shapes? What shapes can you make with 1, 2, 3, or more of these shapes?

50 How many more shapes can make?
Try folding all the shapes in half joining some different shapes overlapping the shapes using larger paper A3 using smaller paper A5, A6 etc (Record your investigations and have fun!)
