Shapes (Year 5)

In KS2 Maths, as you move to Year Five, you'll learn more about shapes. You'll know names of 2D shapes, from circles to decagons, and some 3D shapes too. Spotting equilateral, right angle, and isosceles triangles is a breeze now. Get ready for scalene, obtuse triangles, and congruent shapes!

A circle and a triangle are both shapes. Did you know drawing a perfect circle makes you a genius? Try it! Triangles come in types like isosceles, scalene, or equilateral, depending on their angles.

Do you know the difference between an oblong and a rectangle? Can you tell isosceles from a scalene triangle? Test your shape knowledge with this fun quiz!
