Click Here

This interactive resource by the DfES is ideal for teachers to use with an interactive whiteboard to demonstrate the use of a Carroll Diagram. Users are presented with a numver of different shapes and have to drag them into the correct area of the diagram. If correct the shapes stick, if not they spring back. As multiple attempts are allowed and no score is kept this resource is of no use as an individual activity. However GTCC has created a paper version of the same activity for you to print so that students can cut and stick the geometric shapes and their results can be kept as evidence.
