Editable - Properties of 2D shapes, 3 levels of differentiated worksheets

A grid for students to fill out as they learn the properties of 2D shapes

The most up to date version of this resource is available for less Shapes (2D Shapes) Investigation For free downloads (including this resource) sign up at Alphabet Learning What’s included? This download includes x6 A4, portrait pdf sheets. What’s it for? This investigation has been designed as workbook and is predictable and easy to follow. Learners focus at one 2D shape at a time, investigate its properties and record their findings in a workbook. This information can then be used to answer quick recap questions at the end of the activity. How to use this resource? Learners investigate six 2D shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon) focusing on one at a time. Learners name each shape and explore whether the sides are curved/straight, how many sides there are, whether the sides are equal in length and if there are corners (vertices) or not, and, if so, how many are there? Answers and recap questions are included to consolidate knowledge. Learners can flick back through their investigation workbook as necessary to reference their own findings. A set of tangible 2D shapes for learners to hold and investigate while completing this investigation is included (page 6). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children (to complete with support/as a group), pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details This workbook helps learners investigate six 2D shapes: a circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon, and hexagon. Investigation Contents Page 1 serves as the cover, with space for a name and a list of materials needed, promoting learner independence. It also includes educational facts about 2D shapes. Pages 2 and 3 contain six sets of questions for each shape. Learners can use the provided illustrations to count sides and vertices, and then fill in the facts about each shape. A separate set of 2D shapes on Page 6 can be used as a hands-on tool for investigation. Page 4 includes the names of the six shapes to be cut out, matched and glued into the workbook. Page 4 and 5 provide a completed answer key for learners to check their work. At the end of Page 5, there are quick-match recap questions. Page 6 is a separate sheet of 2D shapes to be printed on card and laminated for hands-on use during the activity.

This worksheet is perfect to test the children’s knowledge after introducing them to the properties edges and vertices of 2D shapes. I used this worksheet for a P5 class (Year 4). 1 worksheet includes some irregular polygons for children that need an extra challenge.

Differentiated worksheet - colour properties of shapes and identify basic properties in a chart format. Up to octagon

I made these for my Year 1 class in the hope of making 2D shape properties a bit more interesting. They can describe the properties of the shape e.g. 3 sides, 3 corners. They are also able to name the shape e.g. Terry Triangle. They can then either cut and stick photos of or draw, for example, triangle shaped objects he might disguise himself as at the bottom. Hope it helps someone out there and saves them some time! It includes the following shapes: Rectangle Circle Square Triangle Hexagon Pentagon Octagon Oval

Sorting 2D shapes on Caroll diagrams. Best suited for year 1,2 3 differentiated ability sheets.

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: Varied fluency and reasoning and problem solving interactive class activities with 4 accompanying worksheets in colour and black and white 1 further varied fluency and reasoning and problem solving worksheet with answers ‘2D Shapes - Year 1’ is completely editable giving teachers the freedom to adapt the resource to suit their individual teaching needs.

This powerpoint covers all common 2D shapes, properties and related vocabulary. This is a useful tool to use when revising 2D shapes and introducing the correct terminology to use when describing/identifying shapes. This can also be used to introduce further 2D shapes following pupils previous learning in past years.

Buy these best resources for the students to learn 2d shapes. This pack includes four resources with three investigation tasks.

Challenge 1- read the properties and write down what shape has been described using the word bank to support (triangle, square, rectangle and circle). Challenge 2- read the properties and match this to the correct shape (triangle, square, rectangle, circle, hexagon, pentagon and semi-circle). Reasoning and problem solving activity has also been included.

Perfect for KS2 maths lessons on 2D and 3D shape properties. I use with my Year 6's as revision.

A fabulous 2D shape resource. Including 8 different shapes, a matching properties game and two maths mastery activities.

A great resource that I have used with most classes every year. It really gets the discussions going about the difference between shapes. It also make for a challenging competition / race. A basic activity that matches 2D Shape names, diagrams and descriptions. Ideal printed, cut and laminated so that you can use again and again as a nice kinaesthetic activity. Can also be printed / displayed for students to write down the letters of the matching items. Solutions included.
