One of three different rhombuses can be selected and dragged to different positions on the grid. An ‘elastic band’ can be stretched around the pins to create outlines. The grid can be hidden or become an isometric pin board. This ITP allows you colour the equilateral triangles set out on an isometric grid. You can use the ITP to demonstrate and explore properties of shapes, such as the internal angles of different pentagons and the properties of opposite sides of various parallelograms in different orientations. For reflex interior angles the value of the exterior angle is shown. The angles created at vertices can be measured using the protractor and their values can be displayed or hidden. Lengths of sides can be measured using a ruler. Once a shape has been created, its vertices can be dragged to new positions to create new shapes. To close a shape select a vertex at any point and drag it onto the required point to create a closed shape. As each vertex is created it is labelled and joined to the previous one. The grid size can be changed, and the grids hidden and revealed. This ITP allows you to create a number of connected vertices on a grid. Using the grid, children can explore the areas of polygons identify which polygon’s vertices fit onto the grid points and look at how they calculate the areas of rectilinear shapes.įor more shape and space resources click here. Children’s hypotheses about properties of sides and internal and external angles can be verified by measurement. Children’s understanding of the angular properties of polygons can be developed. The ITP can be used to explore the properties of regular and irregular polygons. You can use the ruler or protractor to measure dragging it and using the circular button to rotate it to the required position. Double clicking on a vertex allows you to add remove the vertex or to add an extra vertex at the mid point of an adjacent side. A vertex on the polygon can be dragged to another position to change its shape and properties. The polygon can be translated and rotated. A background grid can be revealed and hidden and the displayed polygon can be enlarged using the pointers on the polygon button. This ITP displays regular polygons with 3 to 10 sides. They will remain freely available to all without the need for a subscription. Kimberly C.I am remaking the ITPs so that they will work on all modern browsers and tablets. I like the final check with the codes to escape, making this activity self-checking. Then I shared the sections by uploading to Schoology and had students type answers into Google Doc to share with me. I used this for review with my students the first week of our distant learning, divided this into 3 days, 2 sections each day. It was the perfect level of challenge, and my students were so engaged. This is an amazing resource! The conversations it promoted were fantastic. I also love the puzzle aspect of the Escape Room concept. There is a great range in difficulty level. I love the rigor and thoroughness of this resource. I will definitely use this again next year. I posted it to Classroom and they were able to use it to practice independently. Kids loved this and I appreciated that it was on google forms. Well thought out & also easy to prep and use. I have purchased a few escape room activities from various authors on TPT and this one ranks up there with the good ones. Preview this Resource Testimonials for Geometry Triangles & Area of 2D Shapes Escape Room: Writing prompts, silly riddles, and/or reflection questions included.Google Form URL for students to enter their codes.This is a NO PREP Escape Room using technology! Just hand your students the worksheet, give them URL for the google form and they’re ready to go! This resource includes:Īreas of Triangles, Rectangles, Squares, Parallelograms, and Trapezoids Give your students comprehensive practice on triangles (classification, missing angles, relationships between sides and angles, and the Triangle Inequality Theorem) and finding the area of 2D shapes.
