How can I use this with my children?

This game is a fun way for your child to


practise sorting shapes based on their
Parent Guide
properties. By using the different category
labels, your child can sort the shapes in a
variety of ways.

How does this help my children’s learning?

By creating different Venn and Carroll


diagrams, your child will need to consider
many different properties of 2D shapes
at once, using problem-solving skills to
complete each type of diagram.

Ideas for further learning:

Once your child has used the labels


provided in the game, why not challenge
them to create a Venn or Carroll diagram
of their own, using unique labels in order
to sort the 2D shapes in a different way?
Sorting Regular and Irregular Shapes
Instructions
1. Cut out the shape cards (or the shapes themselves) and the word card labels.

2. Use the word card labels to build a Carroll or Venn diagram (see below for examples):

• With a Carroll diagram, the shapes are sorted into one of the four
different categories. These categories should be the opposites of one
another, so the shapes cannot be placed into more than one box.

• With a Venn diagram, the shapes are sorted based on whether they
match one of the categories (the shape goes in that circle), both of the
categories (the shape goes in the section where both circles cross) or
neither of the categories (the shape goes on the outside of the circles)

3. Sort the shapes using a large Carroll or Venn diagram.

Take It Outside
• You could stick the different 2D shape cards onto pebbles for your child to
place in the correct sections of Carroll or Venn diagrams drawn with
pavement chalk.

• You could use sticks to create Carroll diagrams in the garden or hoops to make Venn diagrams.
