2D Shapes Activity Cards

2D Shapes Bundle

**2D Shapes Activity** 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 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. Aimed at Early Years and Year 1 children. For my 3D shapes PowerPoint see https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/3d-shapes-12176751 For my 2D and 3D Shapes Bundle see https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2d-and-3d-shape-powerpoints-12176770 **2D Shapes Activity Cards** A set of 25 Maths Activity Cards to support children when learning about 2D shapes. The activities in this set include drawing 2D shapes, recognising 2D shapes, finding the odd shape out, shape spotting and comparing 2D shapes. The cards can be used to encourage children to discuss 2D shapes using shape related language. These cards can be laminated for repeated use during Maths lessons or could be printed on a smaller scale and stuck in Maths books for children to complete. I have also laminated these 2D shapes activity cards to be completed during Early Work Activities or independent activities so as to reinforce learning about 2D shapes. These activity cards are aimed at Early Years and Year 1 children.
