2D Shapes - Year 1
In this maths teaching resource, pupils recognise and name 2D shapes (circles, squares, rectangles and triangles). They recognise 2D shapes on the surface of 3D shapes and see how the same 2D shape can look different in different orientations. This Year 1 maths teaching resource has been created following the White Rose Small Steps guidance for year 1 - Autumn - Block 3 - Shape. The resource consists of 1 lesson, including a PowerPoint presentation and worksheets, to guide your class through the curriculum objectives of the Year 1 maths programme of study (Geometry - properties of shapes). The worksheets contain varied fluency, reasoning and problem solving to reinforce and consolidate the children’s learning.
Content includes:

Looking for a fun interactive teaching idea for 3D and 2D shapes? Well look no further as 2D and 3D Shape Sort Game Puzzles, for CCSS K.G.3, will serve as an exciting lesson plan for kindergarten elementary school classrooms. This is a great resource to incorporate into your unit as a guided math center rotation, review game exercise, small group work, morning work, remediation, intervention, or rti. It can also be used as a quiz, drill, test, or assessment tool to help determine student mastery of the learning target. Whether a student is homeschooled or given this as a homework assignment, kids will also love working on these at home to improve their skills.
This puzzle set includes 23 colorful jigsaw puzzles, answer key, and an optional station instruction page with an example. These come as pdf printable sheets that can be printed on card stock and laminated for long-term use. As a suggestion, store them in a sealable gallon storage bag and place them in a tub or bin for students to use throughout the year for enrichment when they finish early. Another idea, for a project, is students can glue the completed puzzles into a notebook or journal as a reference sheet. They can also be glued on a poster for displaying on a bulletin board or as a wall anchor chart.
It covers identifying the name of a geometric shape based on its picture and determining if it is a flat 2D or solid 3D figure. By sorting and matching the puzzle pieces, students can gain confidence in an important and sometimes challenging skill. Your students will love to practice and learn to develop strategies about of two dimensional shapes and three dimensional shapes with this resource!

Two fun Maths activity PowerPoints to introduce children to 2D and 3D shapes.
The PowerPoints include interactive activities for the children to join in with. The PowerPoints show different 2D or 3D shapes and describes their properties. Children then have to guess the shape that is being described or the shape that is being slowly revealed. There is also a shape spotting activity and an odd one out activities. My classes have enjoyed using these PowerPoints to learn about 2D and 3D shapes and they encourage lots of talk about shapes.
The activities could be used as a whole class activity or in small intervention groups.
Aimed at Early Years and Year 1 children however could be used as a recap or booster session for Year 2 children.

A fun Maths activity to introduce children to 3D shapes and related vocabulary.
The lesson includes interactive activities for the children to join in with. The lesson shows children different 3D shapes and describes their properties. Children then have to guess the 3D shape that is being described or the shape that is being slowly revealed. Children then have to use their knowledge of 3D shapes to explain why a shape eg a cuboid is not a cube. This activity is good for assessing children’s understanding of 3D shapes and encourages them to use the related vocabulary. There is then a chance for children to spot 3D shapes in the classroom, children could either record this on whiteboards or on paper. There is also an odd one out activity, this activity again encourages children to use the vocabulary to describe 3D shapes. This lesson encourages lots of talk and discussion about 3D shapes.
Aimed at Early Years and Key Stage 1 children.
