Master Kids Maths: KS2 Shapes and Position

By G Ludinski

This tutor will really help your child with their Mathematics, as it is a Smart eBook. With a Smart eBook your child can tap the answers to the multiple-choice questions and it marks them. Colourful pictures are used. It teaches the subject listed in a quick, easy and effective way, following the National Curriculum. While being a prequel to the chart-topping range of Master Maths (to GCSE) and Master Advanced Maths (to A-Level), it is also a stand-alone book, as important topics that are in both the National Curriculum and GCSE specifications are in both books. Based on the LCL course, 1st Maths course (used in schools and homes) it will open up a new world for your child, with no limits to their learning.

This is Book 14 of the Master Kids Maths series of ebooks, teaching Shapes and Position. It covers Shapes, Symmetry and Angles, and also Position (coordinates, reflection and translation. Geometry). Key Stage 2, Ages 7-11.

This Smart eBook is suitable for Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. Each chapter operates like a conventional ebook to start with, then comes alive when you get to the questions.

__________

It is like a Maths tutor, as it sets you a multiple-choice question and asks you to tap the right (or nearest) answer. All options are underlined and sometimes have ‘ANSWER =’ in front of them.

If you get it wrong, you are given a hint and it suggests you tap ‘Try Again’. If you get it wrong again, you can tap ‘Go to Answer’. Here you are given the answer and a complete explanation.

Now tap ‘Next Question’. Then after you have completed the questions on that subject, tap ‘Table of Contents’ for a list of the chapters (subjects) available.

Extra Information for Unusual Situations

This Smart eBook is designed for a conventional device. That is one with 1 page per screen, and portrait orientation. It still works with most configurations, but it is better if used normally.

If any multiple-choice question with its 3 possible answers does not fit on one screen, reduce the font size. If the text is too big, the questions, hints or answers will not always fit on one screen each.

__________

You need to tap exactly onto the option you wish to select. It is often easier to do this if you are using a stylus.

If you do not tap in the right place, an error message will be displayed. After reading it, go back a page and try again. Remember to tap quickly.

Other than this, your device will operate as normal, and tapping on certain parts of the screen will have the normal effect.

If, because of this, an Options Bar appears unexpectedly, tap again to remove it. If this keeps happening, go forward then back a page.

Shapes and Symmetry

You can see from the picture above, that if a mirror is placed along a line of symmetry of a shape (such as the triangle shown) that shape is recreated. The lines of symmetry of different shapes are shown below. (Sides with the same number of short orange dashes are of equal length):

You can use tracing paper, even in an exam, to help you work out where the lines of symmetry, if any, are.

For regular shapes, if it looks like a line of symmetry should be there, it usually is.

__________

If a shape is rotated once about its centre, the number of times that the rotated position will fit over the original position exactly is its order of rotational symmetry.

This is demonstrated by the rotating equilateral triangle below.

You can see from this, that the order of rotational symmetry of
