How Does This Activity Work?

Students look at the snail on each card and identify the shape of its shell.

They then click and drag the matching 2D shape into the empty box underneath the snail.

Once they’ve chosen their answer, they click submit!

If they get it right, they’ll hear a ‘bing’ and move on to the next card. If they get it wrong, they’ll hear a ‘whoops’ and have another chance to try.

It’s a simple activity that gives students plenty of opportunities to practice their shape recognition skills while building their confidence with independent learning.
