Shape Shift at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Geometry: 2D Shapes & Attributes Adventure Pack

Curved metal walls twist and reflect along the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao — but something isn’t lining up. Exhibit panels are misclassified. Floor patterns are mismatched. Shapes that should fit together are out of place. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the geometry grid. If shapes and their attributes are not identified correctly, the museum’s design system could collapse into confusion.

In Shape Shift at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, students board the Curve Cruiser Cart and enter a high-stakes geometry mission. To restore balance, explorers must identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and circles. By counting sides and vertices, exploring introductory angle concepts, and classifying shapes based on their attributes, students rebuild the geometric structure of the museum.

This adventure blends foundational geometry concepts with visual reasoning and hands-on exploration.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Shape Shift at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Adventure Pack explores core Geometry: 2D Shapes & Attributes concepts, including:

• Triangle – A shape with three sides and three vertices
• Quadrilateral – A shape with four sides
• Pentagon – A shape with five sides
• Hexagon – A shape with six sides
• Circle – A round shape with no straight sides or vertices
• Sides – The straight edges of a shape
• Vertices – The corners where two sides meet
• Angles (Intro) – The space between two sides that meet at a vertex
• Classify Shapes – Grouping shapes based on their attributes

Each concept appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing geometry understanding through exploration rather than memorization.
