Year 1 2D and 3D Shapes Worksheets
This resource is designed to introduce Year 1 students to both 2D and 3D shapes, following the National Curriculum objective: “Recognise and name common 2D and 3D shapes.” These worksheets provide a structured approach, helping young learners become familiar with shape names, properties, and the differences between 2D and 3D shapes.
What’s included:
2D Shape Activities: Students will explore basic 2D shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Activities include shape recognition, matching shapes to names, and simple exercises where students count sides and vertices.
3D Shape Activities: Introduce common 3D shapes like cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders. Tasks help students identify real-world objects that match each 3D shape and differentiate between flat 2D shapes and solid 3D shapes.
Sorting Activities: Students will sort shapes into 2D and 3D categories, reinforcing their understanding of the differences.
Hands-on Practice: Simple drawing tasks for 2D shapes and activities where students identify 3D shapes in everyday objects.
Challenge Activities: Students can describe the properties of 3D shapes by identifying faces, edges, and vertices in a supported format.
These worksheets are designed to be visually engaging and accessible to all learners. Perfect for in-class activities, homework, or reinforcement of key shape concepts.
