Identifying and Naming 2D Shapes Worksheets

We have penned this printable set of identifying and naming 2D shapes worksheets that is easy to use – for the novice and not-so-shape-savvy kids of kindergarten, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3. Packed with engaging exercises like identifying and describing basic 2D shapes, followed by quadrilaterals and polygons, coloring 2D figures, matching names with shapes, drawing 2-dimensional figures, identifying and counting, and a crossword puzzle, these pdf worksheets are aimed at laying a strong foundation in recognizing two-dimensional shapes. Capture the essence of this collection with our free identifying and naming worksheets.

Identifying and Naming 2D Shapes

What begins as just an attempt to identify flat shapes ends up in helping with vocabulary and spellings too. Kids in 1st grade and 2nd grade are expected to identify the 2D shapes and write their names in this pdf.

• Grab the Worksheet

Naming Quadrilaterals

Grade 3 kids observe the sides and angles of each four-sided figure or quadrilateral in this printable plane shapes worksheet, identify and label them accordingly.

Naming Regular Polygons

Polygons are 2-dimensional figures formed by joining 3 or more straight lines. Count the number of sides and write the apt Greek prefix with the word "gon" as in pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon and so on.

Identifying 2-Dimensional Shapes | MCQ

With three flat shape names as options to choose from, this printable identifying and naming 2D shapes worksheet doesn't fail to enthuse the little ones and test their recognition skills.

Properties of shapes matching: TES Maths Resource of the Week

To see all of the work I do for TES Maths, including Resource of the Week,  Inspect the Spec , Pedagogy Place, Maths Newsletters and Topic Collections, please visit the  TES Maths Blog here

What is it? Properties of shapes is an interesting topic. It is first encountered in primary schools when students are introduced to the wonderful world of quadrilaterals and triangles. It is then likely revisited in Key Stage 3. But after that it tends to become “assumed knowledge”, that may be given (at best) cursory coverage during a complex problem. But the issue is, when you think about it, a sound knowledge of shapes and their properties is integral to success at GCSE maths. This knowledge sneaks its way into topics like area, ratio, angles and lots of geometric algebra, and if students are not secure in this knowledge then it can prevent access to these more complex problems. Fortunately this resource, from the King of Resources, is here to help. It is a PowerPoint where each slide considers a shape, presents a series of statements, and asks us to consider if each one is Always, Sometimes or Never true.

How can it be used? I love Always, Sometimes and Never activites. When done well they provoke fascinating debate, discussion and questions from students. And this one certainly is done very well indeed. Take a right-angled triangle and consider the statements “has two acute angles”, “has two equal sides” and “contains a line of symmetry”. Are those always, sometimes or never true? I like to project these up on the board, give students adequate time to consider them on their own in silence (armed with pencils, paper and rulers), and then compare their answers with their neighbour. We can then have the class discussion, which may require firing up GeoGebra to dive into some of the concepts deeper. A superb resource.

Thanks so much for sharing Craig Barton

Drawing Nets Of 3d Shapes Worksheet Tes

Drawing Nets Of 3d Shapes Worksheet Tes – Learning to draw shapes is an essential   aspect   of early   elementary education .   It’s not only helpful in helping   children   improve   their   fine motor skills and enhance   your spatial awareness   but   it also   improves their problem solving   abilities . One of the   best ways   to teach children how to recognize shapes   is   by using   worksheets for shapes .

Types of Shapes

A. Basic Shapes

The fundamental shapes are the foundational   geometric elements .   They include circles,   triangles, squares ,   and ovals. These   shapes are the easiest   kids to recognize   and master .

B. 2D Shapes

2D forms are flat shapes   with only length   and width.   They are squares,   triangles, rectangles   with ovals and diamonds .

C. 3D Shapes

3D shapes are shapes that   contain length, width   and height.   These are shapes like cubes   cones, cones and spheres ,   and   pyramids .

Activities for Learning Shapes

A. Drawing Shapes

Drawing shapes   is a fantastic   opportunity for children and young people to learn   the names and qualities of   different   shapes.   Make sure your child draws   different   shapes using a pencil and   paper.   Offer examples   or templates   to help them start .   When they’re more confident   allow them to draw   these shapes using freehand .

B. Tracing Shapes

Tracing shapes is a fun   and engaging activity that will help   children to develop their fine motor   abilities .   You can provide your child with shapes   worksheets   with dots   around every   shape.   Let them trace around   each shape using   the pencil or the crayon . This   will help them   learn the shape names and   characteristic features, and   how to   control   the hand movements .

C. Identifying Shapes

Understanding shapes is an essential   aptitude for young children to   acquire .   Your child should be provided with worksheets   that have different shapes on   them and ask them to   discern each shape .   They can also be encouraged   to describe the unique characteristics   of   each shape, including   the   number of sides or   shape’s curve .

How to Use Shapes Worksheets

A. Downloading and Printing

To use shapes worksheets   then you need to   download and print   them.   There are many websites that offer free shapes   worksheets   which you can   print and download at home .   Choose the worksheets that are   suitable   for your child’s age , as well as   levels of skill .

B. Using Manipulatives

Manipulatives are items that children   are able to use to play with   shapes in a hands-on way .   The most common manipulatives are: blocks , puzzles, and shape   sorters. Encourage your   child to use   manipulatives   along with their worksheets for shapes   for a better learning experience .

C. Encouraging Independent Learning

Shapes worksheets are also   used to encourage learning by doing .   Give your child   the worksheets , and allow   your child to work through them   by themselves . Encourage   them to inquire if   they are not sure about something .

Incorporating shapes worksheets into   the education of your child could be   enjoyable and effective   to   introduce them to   shapes. Activities   such as   drawing, tracing , or   the identification of   types of shapes can help your child develop   in their motor-skills   and   spatial awareness.   Making use of manipulatives and worksheets together can   enhance their learning experience,   as well as encouraging independent learning to   assist in building confidence .   With the help of shapes worksheets,   it is possible to help your child   develop the necessary skills that will   benefit them in the years   to   become .
