Curriculum anchor: England Year 5 mathematics: use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Mark equal opposite sides and check which horizontal parts combine to make the full width. Take a break when you need one.
