How many sides?

This is a basic counting game with action buttons and voiceover. The initial slide (coming up next) will run automatically and name the six 2D shapes used in the game. Teachers or pupils then need to click on the shape or label of their choice to go to the page which has that shape. The name of the shape is repeated by the voiceover and there is a short sentence to read out. By clicking the count button the sides of each shape will be highlighted in turn and counted by the voiceover. There is a short quiz at the end. The orange icon will bring you back to the main shape page, the blue icon will lead you to the start of the quiz and the red icons lead you through the quiz one question at a time.
