📐 Why geometry matters
Geometry builds visual and logical reasoning together — the same chain-of-facts thinking that later powers algebra and proof. It's also the most diagram-heavy part of every 11+ paper.
🏫 What children learn in Years 4–6
Shape properties and symmetry (Y4–5), angle facts — on a line, in triangles and quadrilaterals, vertically opposite (Y5–6), coordinates in all four quadrants, and translation and reflection (Y6).
🎯 Built for 11+ preparation
Every lesson flags the classic traps — the rectangle's diagonal 'symmetry', the protractor's two scales, diagrams not drawn to scale — in a ‘Watch Out!’ section.

Frequently asked questions
What order should my child learn geometry in?
Follow the numbered path: shapes first (G1–G7), then the angle-facts block (G8–G14), then symmetry, coordinates and transformations, finishing with multi-step problems.
What ages are these geometry lessons for?
Ages 9–11 (Years 5–6 in England); the early shape lessons also suit Year 4.
Are these lessons free?
Yes — all 20 lessons and printable cheat sheets are completely free. The MindBlaze app adds daily practice and rewards.
What are the key angle facts to memorise?
Angles on a straight line total 180°, around a point 360°, in a triangle 180°, in a quadrilateral 360° — plus vertically opposite angles are equal. Lessons G10–G13 drill each one.
What geometry appears most in the 11+?
Missing-angle chains, symmetry counts, coordinate problems and net-folding puzzles — all covered with the exam traps highlighted.
