2D Shapes Robot Labelling cut/stick activity

What’s included?
This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheets to label x7 ‘2D shapes and their properties’ on the Robot’s control panel.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

Resource Details
The seven 2D shapes investigated in this activity are a semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

• Page 1 features the Robot’s ‘control panel’ which has been enlarged from page 2 to provide space for learners to label the different properties of each shape. The dotted lines on page 1 indicate where learners should position the different labels. Learners do not cut out any part of page 1!

• Page 2 includes four sets of labels (there are exactly the correct amount of labels provided to complete each 2D shape featured). The labels included are the names of the shapes, the number of sides each shape has, the number of vertices each shape has, whether the shapes have ‘curved’ sides (only two do - the circle and semi circle). The green ticks can be stuck next to these two shapes. All labels have dotted lines indicating where to cut.

An adult could pre-cut the labels for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult/demotivating.

Suggestion
It would be most helpful for learners to have access to a tangible set of these x7 2D shapes to pick up and investigate while completing this activity especially for learners who do not know the information (to complete the labels).
