Geometry

Geometry in IB MYP Grade 3 Mathematics

Geometry is part of IB MYP Grade 3 Mathematics. At this intermediate stage (ages 13–14), learners work on describing properties of shapes, classifying shapes by their properties and calculating perimeter, area and volume.

MYP Mathematics is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating patterns, C: communicating and D: applying mathematics in real-world contexts). Regular practice with geometry builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.

What learners practise

Describing properties of shapes
Classifying shapes by their properties
Calculating perimeter, area and volume

For students

Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.

For revision

Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.

For teachers

Use geometry activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.

Study tip

When you get a question wrong, redo it a day later without looking at the solution. If you can do it cold, the idea has stuck.

Quick answers

Who is the Geometry page for?

It is for IB MYP Grade 3 Mathematics learners, typically aged 13–14, and for the parents and teachers who support them.

Are geometry resources free?

Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.

How should I use these resources?

Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
