How BrightWorld helps with 2-d and 3-d shapes

Children practise 2-d and 3-d shapes at Easy, Medium or Hard, in mixed quizzes, in the Answer Run game and inside story missions. If they get stuck, they get a hint and a worked example; if they’re flying, the questions get harder. Parents see how they’re doing in the parent area.
