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 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.

Thank you for publishing your resource. It has been selected to be featured in <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/collections/secondary-maths/"> a new secondary maths collection</a>.
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 !
An excellent resource which takes a different approach to teaching properties of shapes. I would use this in a group work lesson, getting the pupils to work in pairs playing the game, and then mixing the groups up to play the different versions of the game.
