Shape Space
A shape keeps its identity when it turns, changes size, or appears as an everyday object; its straight sides and corners identify a 2D shape, while faces, edges, vertices, and curved surfaces identify a 3D solid.

What your child will figure out
- Identify common 2D and 3D shapes from accurate pictures and everyday objects.
- Count straight sides and corners on 2D shapes and faces, edges, or vertices on 3D solids.
- Sort shapes and objects by observable properties such as rolling, stacking, or having four straight sides.
- Explain which property proves a choice and transfer the rule to generated unfamiliar examples.
The levels
- First signal
Predict the name of a turned 2D shape, observe its boundary, and explain that roundness identifies a circle.
- Side scan
Count a triangle's straight sides, observe each side traced once, and connect three sides to three corners.
- Mystery cargo
Recognise a food can as a cylinder, observe its flat and curved surfaces, and explain why it can roll and stack.
- Cube inspection
Count a cube's vertices and distinguish corner points from faces and edges.
- Sorting dock transfer
Transfer shape properties to sort an everyday dice-shaped parcel into the stacking bay.
