Exploring Shape and Space

Students have been exploring Shape and Space during a math investigation.  Particularly, students have been classifying and analysing 2D shapes using geometric vocabulary.

Here, students are sorting the following shapes into a rather complex Venn diagram according to the following attributes:
  • Is it a pentagon?
  • Is it concave?
  • Does it have parallel lines?
  • Does it have mirror symmetry?
  • Are all sides equal?


Here are a few photos of students at work.
In these photos, students are working to sort  the shapes into the 5-circle Venn diagram.

As a next step, students created their own 5 circle Venn diagram puzzles.
Do you think you can solve it? Give it a try and leave an answer in the comment section.
