Geometry & measures topics for Secondary
Below are the Secondary topics available for the category "Geometry & measures" at Free Math Games.
These free math topics offer a complete set of basic Geometry & measures topics for Secondary pupils (Grade 7 to Grade 9, ages 11 to 14). The Geometry & measures category is divided into sub-categories such as "Circle", "Measures of 2D shapes", "Measures of 3D shapes", etc. Each sub-category has multiple sub-sub-categories, and within them are the topics with between 6 and 10 question and answer pairs for the lessons, plus additional question answer pairs for the games and tests.
For each question/answer pair in a topic you get the question as picture, equation or text, the spoken question read by a robot, and an answer as both number or text and as audio. For most topics there are also 3 wrong answers prepared for each question.
