Table to fill in properties of 2D shapes

A grid for students to fill out as they learn the properties of 2D shapes

This powerpoint covers all common 2D shapes, properties and related vocabulary. This is a useful tool to use when revising 2D shapes and introducing the correct terminology to use when describing/identifying shapes. This can also be used to introduce further 2D shapes following pupils previous learning in past years.

2 activities to use the vocabulary of properties of 2D shapes, may be useful as a class starter or plenary - or as a paired activity. Revision for KS2 SATs.

Differentiated worksheet - colour properties of shapes and identify basic properties in a chart format. Up to octagon

Editable - Properties of 2D shapes, 3 levels of differentiated worksheets

This powerpoint is split into two lessons. Lesson 1 - focuses on the properties of quadrilaterals. Lesson 2 - focuses on regular and irregular pentagons and hexagons

This resource is extremely informative. It includes the names of polygons in a table format, as well as defining and giving examples of perpendicular and parallel lines. The different angle types are given, also with visual examples. On the second page, lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry are defined, again with examples. This resource successfully supports children, allowing them to be independent learners. This resource would be useful within lessons where shapes are compared such as with the use of Carroll and Venn diagrams. This is a two-page Microsoft Word document.

To identify 2D shapes and their properties. To recall name of shape, number of sides it has and number of vertices (corners) it has. Reception class

2D Shapes Matching Activity Differentiated matching activity - 18 2D. shapes to match. Suitable for match up, memory game or articulate. 3 tiers of difficulty: RED: circle, square, rectangle, 4 types of triangles. AMBER: pentagon, hexagon, parallelogram, trapezium, rhombus, kite. GREEN: sector, heptagon, octagon, nonagon.

Sorting 2D shapes on Caroll diagrams. Best suited for year 1,2 3 differentiated ability sheets.

I made this for my class in order for them to understand the properties of 2D & 3D shapes. Understanding what the properties mean enabled them to give accurate description of the shapes.

3 resources! RESOURCE 1: A simple table to record: Name of 2D shape Number of sides Number of corners Pairs of parallel sides . RESOURCE 2: A 2D worksheet: Draw and label a selection of 2D shapes Write down the number of corners and sides each shape has . RESOURCE 3: Squared paper: Ideal for drawing shapes A4 size . All resources are fully editable

Differentiated worksheets used with children in year 1 to develop understanding of properties of 2D shapes. Focuses on sides, corners etc.

Challenge 1- read the properties and write down what shape has been described using the word bank to support (triangle, square, rectangle and circle). Challenge 2- read the properties and match this to the correct shape (triangle, square, rectangle, circle, hexagon, pentagon and semi-circle). Reasoning and problem solving activity has also been included.

Understanding how to sort and classify 2D shapes according to their properties.

A great resource that I have used with most classes every year. It really gets the discussions going about the difference between shapes. It also make for a challenging competition / race. A basic activity that matches 2D Shape names, diagrams and descriptions. Ideal printed, cut and laminated so that you can use again and again as a nice kinaesthetic activity. Can also be printed / displayed for students to write down the letters of the matching items. Solutions included.

2D shapes with example - A direct instruction shape PowerPoint lesson with 102 slides. Interactive and fun. Teach your students the names, properties, property vocabulary and sorting. 102 slides. Updated (11/3/24). 2D shapes with example includes; 2d shapes included; circle, square, triangle, oval, star, rhombus, crescent, heart, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, rectangle, trapezoid and parallelogram new shapes added = heptagon, nonagon and decagon learning intentions, success criteria and tune in shape name slides shape property vocabulary slides * number prefixes slide added shape properties of each shape explained shape sort activity real world shape pictures section shape hunt activity fun check for understanding activity (e.g. name this shape and guess my shape!) Please check the slideshow first. Use in slide show mode. When you press the space bar, arrow or mouse button, some words will appear. Use the shape sort outside of slideshow mode.

Identifying properties of 2D shapes

5 Chatterboxes Fun visual and kinaesthetic activity/game, based on the childhood 'fortune teller' game. Plenty of speaking and listening, the children asking and answering questions, encouraging use of the appropriate mathematical vocabulary. Emphasis is given to learning about and describing 2-D shapes in terms of number of sides, angles and lines of symmetry and to recognise how these properties differ between regular and irregular shapes 5 chatterbox sheets; 1 Triangles Chatterbox 2 Quadrilaterals Chatterboxes 2 'general' Polygons Chatterboxes The repetitive (and competitive) nature of this resource makes it ideal for children of all abilities, from those who enjoy being pushed, to those lacking confidence in articulating their responses - practicing in small groups/one to one, enables them to engage more fully in whole class discussions. Use as starter, plenary, brain break, small group work, guided group, intervention groups, etc ... and as homework!

*Describes the properties if 2d shapes *Includes a quiz to test children's subject knowledge
