What a fabulous afternoon we enjoyed learning all about the properties of quadrilaterals.

In our groups we discussed and discovered lots of similarities and differences in the lengths of sides and angles in each of the shapes we made using a variety of materials. it was so much more interesting doing it like this rather than simply using a ruler and drawing shapes in our jotters. 😊

It was also easy to see where we went wrong creating our shapes and to make changes to fix them. Have a look at the shape made of shells that says ‘square’ below…is there something wrong with it? How could it be fixed?
