2D and 3D Shape P7 Anchor Charts

Help pupils build confidence when identifying, describing and comparing shapes with this colourful, child-friendly set of 7 printable A4 maths anchor charts.

Each poster breaks shape learning into a clear teaching step using visual examples, mathematical vocabulary, worked examples and short practice activities. The consistent design makes the pack ideal for classroom displays, lesson introductions, revision, targeted support and independent pupil reference.

This resource covers:
2D Shapes – recognising common 2D shapes and identifying sides, vertices and angles
Properties of 2D Shapes – comparing shapes using sides, vertices, angles, symmetry and regular/irregular properties
3D Shapes – identifying cubes, cuboids, spheres, cones, cylinders, prisms and pyramids
Properties of 3D Shapes – exploring faces, curved surfaces, edges and vertices
