4.1Geometrical terms: shapes, solids and nets
Every geometry question is written in a precise vocabulary: reflex, perpendicular, rhombus, frustum, segment.
Jot Thoughts6 Q, 17 marks6 MCQtab 1
4.2Ruler and compasses constructions
Given three sides, there is exactly one triangle, and a pair of compasses finds its third corner for you.
Rally Coach6 Q, 17 marks6 MCQtab 1, tab 2
4.3Scale drawings and bearings
A map shrinks real distances by a fixed scale, and a bearing fixes a direction with three digits measured clockwise from north.
Numbered Heads Together6 Q, 16 marks6 MCQtab 3, tab 4
4.4Similar shapes
Similar shapes are enlargements of each other: every angle matches and every length is multiplied by the same scale factor.
Round Table6 Q, 20 marks6 MCQtab 1, tab 2
4.4Areas and volumes of similar shapes
Extended.
Rally Coach6 Q, 18 marks6 MCQtab 3
4.5Line and rotational symmetry
A shape has line symmetry if it folds onto itself, and rotational symmetry if it fits onto itself more than once in a full turn.
Quiz-Quiz-Trade6 Q, 18 marks6 MCQtab 5, tab 6
4.6Angles: lines, parallel lines and triangles
Seven facts unlock almost every angle question: angles at a point, on a straight line, vertically opposite, in a triangle, in a quadrilateral, and the three parallel-line rules.
Round Table6 Q, 17 marks6 MCQtab 2, tab 3, tab 4
4.6Angles in polygons
Walk all the way round any polygon and you turn through exactly one full turn.
Rally Coach6 Q, 18 marks6 MCQtab 5
4.7Circle theorems I: semicircles and tangents
Two circle facts plant a right angle wherever they apply: the angle in a semicircle, and the angle between a tangent and a radius.
Numbered Heads Together6 Q, 21 marks6 MCQtab 2, tab 3, tab 9
4.8Circle theorems II: centre, segments, cyclic quadrilaterals
Extended.
Round Table6 Q, 22 marks6 MCQtab 4, tab 6, tab 7
