Maths help for parents of children aged 5 to 11
Two very similar worksheets looking at the properties of 3-D shapes. Counting the number of faces, edges and vertices can be quite tricky and it is easier to do if there is a shape to look at and pick up.
Tetrahedron and octahedron are two new shapes to learn about. A tetrahedron has four faces whilst an octahedron has 8.
Free Y4 maths worksheets: Revise 2-D shape
Here are a couple of worksheets to help year 4 children revise their knowledge of the properties of 2-D shapes. They should be able to recognise the most common triangles: equilateral, isosceles and scalene as well as most 4 sided shapes. Many maths books only show regular shapes eg a hexagon with equal sides, and many children do not realise that a hexagon does not have to have six equal sides – just six sides.
