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

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.

2 activities to use the vocabulary of properties of 2D shapes, may be useful as a class starter or plenary - or as a paired activity. Revision for KS2 SATs.

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

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

Table to fill in 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

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.

2-D Shapes - Year 3 In this teaching resource pupils practise recognising and drawing regular and irregular polygons as per the statutory requirements of the year 3 maths programme of study (Geometry - properties of shapes). Content includes: 2-D shape explanation Regular and irregular polygon explanation Quadrilaterals and triangles explanation Activities to support the teaching of this objective and 3 accompanying worksheets 1 further worksheet with answers ‘2-D Shapes - Year 3’ is editable allowing teachers to adapt the resource to meet the needs of each class they teach.

A fun Maths activity to introduce children to 2D shapes. The activity includes interactive activities for the children to join in with. The activity shows different 2D shapes and describes their properties. Children then have to guess the 2D shape that is being described or the 2D shape that is being slowly revealed. Children then have to explain why a shape eg a circle is not a triangle, this encourages children to use the vocabulary to describe 2D shapes and demonstrates their understanding of 2D shapes. There is also a shape spotting activity using pictures and an odd one out activity again encouraging children to describe and talk about the properties of 2D shapes. My class have enjoyed using this PowerPoint to learn about 2D shapes and it encourages lots of talk about 2D shapes. The activity could be used as a whole class activity or in small intervention groups. There are also 3 differentiated 2D shape worksheets for the children to complete. Aimed at Early Years and Year 1 children.

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

Your Year 4 (in the U.K.) or Grade 5 (in the U.S.) students will learn to classify triangles and quadrilaterals with these 12 polished, no-prep activities. Sorting polygons by properties will engage your students in higher-order thinking. Watch their geometry skills blossom as they place 2d figures into categories and subcategories. Students will learn to identify the following attributes: parallel, perpendicular, regular, congruent, concave, convex, symmetry, acute angles, right angles, obtuse angles, and vertices. Geometric shapes include equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, right triangle, square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, and quadrilateral. 12 Activities • Cut out and sort shapes by property • Define each type of triangle by analyzing examples • Define each type of quadrilateral by analyzing examples • Check off properties of each type of triangle • Check off properties of each type of quadrilateral • Draw shapes on flashcards • List all names for each figure pictured • Cut out and place triangles on a Venn diagram • Cut out and place quadrilaterals on a Venn diagram • Label types of triangles on a Venn diagram • Label types of quadrilaterals on a Venn diagram • Draw an animal and identify its geometric properties Answer keys are included.

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. GREEN: sector, heptagon, octagon, nonagon.

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.

Hi folks, time to upload and share a few more lessons from a decade ago (probably antiquated now) and this stems from some of the interactions with newbies on Twitter currently. Firstly I just wanted to say thanks to TES and all those who are sharing their fantastic resources. All I have done is utilised some of these resources and made a flipchart with a humble contribution from myself. Some of you will recognise parts of your resources embedded in the flip. I have TEEPED majority of the lessons as well. These lessons may perhaps be suitable for KS2 (hopefully) and KS3 . Please feel free to ameliorate it further.

This is a complete lesson with a great PowerPoint story, printable cut and stick activities and fun ideas for an outstanding lesson!

3 resources! RESOURCE 1: A simple table to record: Name of 2D shape Number of sides Number of corners Pairs of parallel sides . RESOURCE 2: A 2D worksheet: Draw and label a selection of 2D shapes Write down the number of corners and sides each shape has . RESOURCE 3: Squared paper: Ideal for drawing shapes A4 size . All resources are fully editable

Differentiated worksheets used with children in year 1 to develop understanding of properties of 2D shapes. Focuses on sides, corners etc.

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.

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.
