Geometry has too many words: Name That Shape!


For these last couple of entries, I'm engaging in some good old-fashioned practice. First up: Name! That! Shape!

I didn't do all that well on classifying the different shapes in the problem set. So it's time for more sets. Let's see what we can find. . . .

I don't want to do a worksheet. I'd much rather play a game. The folks at Sheppard Software have something promising: This quadrilateral shape game

Awww! Just my speed!
 Oooh! I already like this. They tell me up front what's what:


Will I EVER remember these?!
 Now let's see what the actual game is like. . . .

Umm . . . click the squares?

Okay, I know I need practice, but maybe I can find something at least a LITTLE more challenging?
Later . . .

Well, THAT was a bust. I think the best choice is to go to . . . say it with me . . .Khan Academy!

So it's not a game--just a lowly practice set. But it fits the bill for practicing the classifications I need help with:

Aww! A pony!
 And it's for fifth graders, according to the Standard. So I should be doing a little more than clicking on squares. . . .

Oh, diss!
 Let's try another set . . . and another . . . 


 . . .and another . . .

I don't even want to tell you how many tries that took.

Stay tuned for the final installment of Miss B's Math Trip!
