2D Shapes and their Properties Powerpoint
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.
2d shape properties
Differentiated worksheet - colour properties of shapes and identify basic properties in a chart format. Up to octagon
Properties of 2D Shapes - Matching Activity
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.
2D Shapes - Year 1
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.

2D shapes properties
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.

2D Shapes - Properties
Differentiated worksheets used with children in year 1 to develop understanding of properties of 2D shapes. Focuses on sides, corners etc.
Properties of 2D Shapes
This powerpoint is split into two lessons.
Lesson 1 - focuses on the properties of quadrilaterals.
Lesson 2 - focuses on regular and irregular pentagons and hexagons
2D Shapes and their Properties
To identify 2D shapes and their properties. To recall name of shape, number of sides it has and number of vertices (corners) it has. Reception class
Properties of 2D shapes
This resource is extremely informative. It includes the names of polygons in a table format, as well as defining and giving examples of perpendicular and parallel lines. The different angle types are given, also with visual examples.
On the second page, lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry are defined, again with examples.
This resource successfully supports children, allowing them to be independent learners. This resource would be useful within lessons where shapes are compared such as with the use of Carroll and Venn diagrams.
This is a two-page Microsoft Word document.
2D Shapes Investigation
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.
