When learning about shapes, children begin to understand that they can use different words to describe their properties. They will use language such as sides, edges or vertices, corners and faces and recognize that some shapes have the same name but may be slightly different, for example an equilateral triangle is different to an isosceles.

This quiz will help children to use and to understand the language of shapes.
