Free Classroom Poster: Quadrilaterals

Here is another great math poster to decorate your classroom.  Today's poster is about quadrilaterals and illustrates the six major quadrilateral shapes.

Quadrilateral just means "four sides" (quad means four, lateral means side).  Any four-sided shape is a Quadrilateral.   The sides have to be straight, and it has to be 2-dimensional.

Quadrilaterals are simple (not self-intersecting) or complex (self-intersecting), also called crossed. Simple quadrilaterals are either convex or concave.

The interior angles of a simple quadrilateral ABCD all add up to 360 degrees of arc,

Anyhow, there are some facts on quadrilaterals, you can download this great poster here.

Classic Printable Battleship Game for Students

Battleship is a classic game of strategy and logic kids of all ages love to play.  Best of all, it is a great to play in your maths class as it teaches students how to use a cartesian plane and understand how to use co-ordinates on a grid.

I have made up two PDF versions of the classic battleship game you can download and print

The first one is the traditional battleship game and the second one is the slightly more advanced 4 quadrant version of Battleship which is more suited to secondary students.

"You just sunk my Battleship!"
