Shape-shifters!

This Spanish Difficult Review picture quiz will give you the chance to see if you can shift your brain from one shape to another in Spanish. When it comes to mathematical shapes, the one good thing about learning them in Spanish is that many of the Spanish words are very similar to their English counterparts. However, what does become important is that you focus on the Spanish spellings of the shapes as it is there that you can get tripped up. Therefore, for this quick picture quiz you are going to be tested on is how quickly you can locate the correct Spanish spelling of the English capitalized shapes. It is the spelling of the word that is the shifter. Now, let’s get started!
