This Year 1 Geometry Mistake Investigators resource features a range of questions designed to strengthen children’s reasoning and problem-solving skills by finding and explaining mistakes.

Each learning objective includes four questions: one correct answer and three incorrect options. Children are encouraged to spot the mistakes, identify the correct answer, and explain their reasoning.

This resource works brilliantly in group settings, helping to spark discussion and promote collaborative learning. It covers key geometry objectives, including recognising and naming common 2-D and 3-D shapes, as well as describing position, direction and movement - such as whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns.

If you’re looking for a resource that helps children build confidence, think critically, and develop strong reasoning skills, this is the perfect choice!


Curriculum Objectives
