SHAPE Basics

This set of shape worksheets is written and illustrated for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their basic maths skills but it is also suitable for younger age groups.

The worksheets provide a gentle introduction to the properties of common 2D and 3D shapes. There is also a strong emphasis on the vocabulary associated with positions and sizes.

The features of 2D shapes are explained beginning with the number of sides and corners moving on to symmetry and identifying right angles. There are simple shape patterns to be completed leading to the drawing of tessellations involving two different shapes.

On the worksheets about 3D shapes there are pictures of both real objects and mathematical diagrams to identify as particular types of shape. Numbers of edges and corners have to be counted and the names of the 2D faces making up each shape are discussed .

There are pages about simple rotations of shapes and measuring angles.

Each worksheet comes in three versions. Monochrome, colour or on-screen completion ( answers need to be checked by a tutor )
