This Year 4 Properties of Shape Mistake Investigators resource offers a variety of carefully designed questions aimed to strengthen children’s reasoning and problem-solving skills by finding and explaining mistakes.
Each objective includes four questions: one correct answer and three incorrect options. Children are encouraged to spot the mistakes, decide which answer is correct, and explain their thinking.
The questions are ideal for group work, sparking discussion and collaborative learning. They cover key shape objectives, including comparing and classifying geometric shapes, identifying lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes and identifying, comparing and ordering angles.
If you’re looking for a resource that helps children develop their reasoning skills while becoming more confident, investigative learners, this is the perfect choice!
