'2D shapes: diagram from name' for 3rd grade

Identify 2D shapes by name

This topic helps you learn what many 2-dimensional shapes look like. We give you the name, you have to pick out the shape.

We can divide shapes based on the number of sides they have, how many of those sides are parallel, and the nature of the angles where those sides meet. This topic also includes ellipses and circles. Some of the shapes are described below

  1. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4 sides) with opposite sides parallel and equal in length, and pairs of angles are equal.
  2. A rhombus is a type of parallelogram with all 4 sides equal in length.
  3. A rectangle is a special parallelogram where all 4 angles are 90°.
  4. A square is a special type of rectangle where all sides are the same length.
  5. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.
  6. A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides equal in length.
  7. A pentagon has 5 sides.
  8. A hexagon has 6 sides.
  9. A heptagon has 7 sides.
  10. An octagon has 8 sides.

This topic shows you the names of different 2D shapes and you have to choose the correct shape from a selection of four.

You may have noticed that the rhombus is a special type of parallelogram where all 4 sides are the same length. This is true for a few of the shapes in this toic. You should always go with the most specific instance, so if it is a rhombus go with rhombus even though parallelogram is also technically correct.

With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "2D shapes: diagram from name" from 3rd grade / Shapes / Identifying shapes. The math in this game consists of 24 questions that ask you to identify the correct diagram for each of these names of 2-dimensional (2D) shapes.

Move the cat to catch the white mice, hit the blue balloons, but avoid the red ones

Large thumbnail for math game Cat and mouse

Cat versus mouse game with added balloons for math and fun. You are the ginger cat, and your life is being made a misery by some white mice which have come into the house and are proving hard to catch. Not to mention there is a mouse house party going on and lots of balloons getting in the way of your hunting.

So you have to catch the white mice, forget about the gray mice, hit the blue balloons but avoid the red balloons, and answer math questions (you are a CLEVER cat...). If it sounds complicated and a bit frantic, that's because it is. Do your best but don't worry if you can't catch all the mice - neither can we. It's a cat's life...

Free Math Games screenshot of the CAT AND MOUSE game for elementary

CAT AND MOUSE is a quirky take on the perennial enmity of ponderous predator and plucky prey. Here are the basics:

  1. Press "PLAY" on the CAT AND MOUSE settings page to open the game.
  2. You are a ginger cat overwhelmed by a serious mouse problem.
  3. Luckily your job is only to catch the white mice, not all the mice.
  4. Trouble is, they are not easy to catch and will try to avoid you.
  5. Use the arrow keys or tap the screen in the direction you want the cat to go.
  6. You will need fast reaction times to catch those white mice, and the balloons keep getting in the way.
  7. Mouse scores are 25 points for each white mouse caught, minus 5 points for each white mouse that escapes.
  8. When you do catch a white mouse, a math question will appear.
  9. Answer the math question correctly for those extra points...
  10. You get 50 points for each correct answer, but you lose 25 points for each wrong answer.
  11. Hitting blue balloons gives you extra points, but 3 hits on a balloon will burst it for that level.
  12. Hitting red balloons takes away points.
  13. Balloon scores are +5 or +10 points for blue balloons, -5 or -10 points for red balloons.
  14. This is a timed game and your final score is calculated by taking away your time in seconds from the points you have earned.
  15. If you get one of the 10 best scores you can add your name to the leaderboard for your chosen topic.
