What Am I? 2D Shape Properties PowerPoint

Disappointed that the preview of the resource seems nothing like the actual powerpoint - I would like a "What am I?" reveal-style quiz, but all it seems to be, when I download it, is a list of slides describing each shape's properties. Does the preview need updating?

• Hi calvarado,
  I apologise if this mistake has caused any problems. I'll let our design team know about it right away and they will make sure the resource matches the preview :)

• Hi there,
  This resource is intended as a factual PowerPoint presentation - we have a version that is more of a "reveal-style quiz" available here:

  I hope you find it useful!

A rectangle does not have two long and two short sides!This is a misconception which I'm trying to avoid. So disappointed with this.

• Hi LaunceY3,
  Thank you so much for getting in touch! It's lovely to hear from you :) As this is a Key Stage 1 resource, we use the term "rectangle" to describe the quadrilateral with 4 right angles. If you would like us to amend this resource if it does not meet your needs, please let me know. I would be happy to request a change for you.

• I'm happy having KS1 describing a rectangle to describe a quadrilateral with four right angles. But rectangles don't have two long and two short sides and that's what it says on the PowerPoint. I've made my own one now though so thank you anyway. We just need to be careful that we're not teaching misconceptions as they are hard to unteach. I'm in Y3 and have two thirds of a class who think a rectangle must have two long and two short!

• Hello again LaunceY3,

It opened but when I clicked on the show it didn't do anything.

• Hi EmilyCherrill,
  Thank you very much for commenting! It's great to hear from you :)
  I've taken a look at this resource here and it seems to be working okay. Can you take a look and be sure to click on 'enable editing' at the top of the page? if you then put the Powerpoint into Slideshow mode you should be able to use it :) Just let me know if it still doesn't work :)

On the vertices/ edges version, Slide 3 says 'I have 4 straight vertices' as opposed to '4 straight edges/ sides'.

• Hi acrewey,
  Thank you so much for letting us know about this one. I'll get this corrected right away!

• Hi there acrewey,
  We have now fixed this mistake and emailed you the corrected resource - I hope you find it useful! It will also be updated on the website very soon.

A circle actually has one side. This resource states it has no sides.

• Hi there,
  
  Thanks for commenting and I'm sorry to hear there's a problem with this resource.
  
  I've taken a look and the PowerPoint itself is correct but we do need to update the resource preview, so I will ask our resource team to correct this right away!
  
  Thank you for letting us know about this - have a lovely day! :)

• The main download still states that a circle has no sides.
  You have me doubting myself!!

Do you have a version that uses 'edges' and 'vertices' instead of 'sides' and 'corners'?

• Hi a.kleander,
  Thank you for your resource change suggestion on the Twinkl website. I have asked our resource designers to look into this for you right away, so please do keep an eye out on the site. I hope you have a lovely day! : )
