Properties of quadrilaterals, triangles and congruent shapes lesson (GCSE foundation)

Powerpoint lesson for Edexcel GCSE foundation unit 6 with a work booklet and lots of assessment for learning activities. Skills covered include – Identify and using angle, side and symmetry properties of simple quadrilaterals and triangles. Identifying congruent shapes.

This lesson was specially made to cover the objectives of the Pearson textbook section 6.1 (apart from angles in quadrilaterals- this is a separate lesson)

Time saving resource for busy teachers! You should be able to teach a lesson with hardly any preparation (mainly printing and maybe some cutting!). Fully differentiated objectives:
Blue: Identify angle, side and symmetry properties of simple quadrilaterals and triangles
Gold: Identify congruent shapes
Red: Identify and begin to use angle, side and symmetry properties of quadrilaterals

This resource includes:
• A PowerPoint
•A pdf of the power point slides with some notes included on how to use some of the resources.
•Answers on the powerpoint and on a separate pdf file (print off to give to students that aren’t able to see the board as well, or use to mark as you go)
• A differentiated Work booklet that includes self-assessment sections
• A card sort for properties of shapes(this could be done alone or in pairs, or in groups!)
•A properties of shape revision/foldable guide students can refer back to
•An identifying congruent shapes treasure hunt

The PowerPoint includes everything you need to teach right away. The lessons use the following format:
•Starter
• Objective and levels
• A “how to teaching portion” with animated examples
• An AfL miniwhiteboard quiz
• Answers to all the booklet questions
• Plenary (with answers)

The powerpoint and booklet are currently set up for GCSE maths grades, however you can edit the grades to reflect KS3 or your own schools assessment criteria. In the word booklet if you change any grade (e.g the blue section) it should automatically change the rest of that colour into the same grade.
This will take up a whole lesson.
