Shape Factory

A shape is identified by its structure: 2D shapes have sides and vertices, while 3D solids have faces, edges, and vertices; a valid net folds so its faces meet exactly once.

What your child will figure out

  • Name common 2D shapes and 3D solids from their defining structure rather than colour or orientation.
  • Count sides and vertices on 2D shapes and faces, edges, and vertices on 3D solids.
  • Predict which flat net folds into a named solid and explain how its faces meet.
  • Solve endless generated geometry challenges while the adaptive staircase responds to evidence from each tracked skill.

The levels

  1. Badge scanner

    Predict and identify a turned 2D shape by its boundary, then explain that orientation does not change its name.

  2. Property press

    Use sides and vertices to select the only shape with four equal sides.

  3. Solid assembly

    Connect a solid's visible surfaces to its name in a new 3D station.

  4. Inspection booth

    Count a cube's faces, edges, and vertices as different structural features.

  5. Fold-test transfer

    Transfer shape properties to a novel flat arrangement and identify the net that folds into a cube without overlap.

Ready when they are.
