2D and 3D Shape Properties Bundle
This set of resources is used for teaching 2D and 3D shapes and their properties.
The Power Points take the students through the different shapes and allow them to fill in the details of all the shapes into the accompanying shape properties booklet.
One of the Power Points is simply used as a revision template for the names of shapes - print out the slide and get the children to write down the names of the shapes. You can then reveal all the names.

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.
Properties of 2D and 3D shapes
I made this for my class in order for them to understand the properties of 2D & 3D shapes. Understanding what the properties mean enabled them to give accurate description of the shapes.

2d shape properties
Differentiated worksheet - colour properties of shapes and identify basic properties in a chart format. Up to octagon
Tarsia - 2D Shape Properties
A Tarsia Jigsaw activity on 2D Shape Properties, including quadrilaterals. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning. By making adjustments such as removing answers and making deliberate mistakes, they can be made even more challenging and engaging to the students. To download the latest version of the wonderful free software to open this resource (and create your own), click on the web-link. If you have any comments, or spot any (non deliberate!) mistakes, please share them below.
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.
Outdoor 2D Shape Hunt
Perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) and lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2), this worksheet blends outdoor learning with core Geometry concepts, focusing on 2D shapes.
How to Use This Resource
Preparation: Print the Outdoor Maths 2D Shapes worksheet for each child or pair. Review the target 2D shapes.
The Hunt: Take your class to a designated outdoor learning space—a playground, school garden, or field.
Find and Draw: The children’s task is to find a real-life object in the outdoor environment that matches each shape on their sheet. For example, a clock face for a circle, a paving slab for a square, or a roof gable for a triangle.
Record: They then draw a sketch of that object in the corresponding box on their worksheet. This involves focused observation and representational drawing.
Discussion: Conclude the lesson with a group discussion. Have students share their most interesting finds and explain why their chosen object fits the shape category. This encourages peer learning and reinforces the properties of 2D shapes.

2D Shapes Matching Activity
Differentiated matching activity - 18 2D. shapes to match.
Suitable for match up, memory game or articulate.
3 tiers of difficulty:
RED: circle, square, rectangle, 4 types of triangles.
AMBER: pentagon, hexagon, parallelogram, trapezium, rhombus, kite.

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.
