3D shapes matching
Can you match these shapes with the correct definitions?
Mirror line colouring
Can you colour the squares so that each side of the picture is an exact mirror image?
Sorting regular and irregular shapes
Regular shapes have equal-length sides and all the internal angles are equal. Can you cut out the shapes and sort them into the Venn diagram? Then draw a circle around the regular shapes and write a definition of an irregular shape.
Reflecting, rotating and translating shapes
A KS2 maths worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your child understand reflecting, rotating and translating shapes.
Can you draw this shape’s reflection in the mirror line?
Can you draw this shape’s reflection in the mirror line?
Opening shapes to make nets
Can you make a net from an old cereal box and an old Toblerone box? Then see if you can use these nets to make some 3D shapes.
Drawing 2D shapes
Practise drawing the following shapes: a semi-circle; a shape with 4 corners; an octagon; a shape with 3 sides; a hexagon; a shape with no corners; a shape with 4 equal length sides; a shape with 1 side; a pentagon. You might find you have the same shape in more than one box. A ruler will help you draw straight lines.
Count the sides of 2D shapes
Fill in the 2D shape properties chart for these shapes with the name of the shape and how many sides it has.
Primary geometry: shape and space
Do you know your hexagons from your heptagons, your pentagonal pyramids from your octagonal prisms? From 2D shapes to angles and symmetry our seventy-page Primary Geometry: shape and space learning pack covers all aspects of the national curriculum (Shape and Space) and will ensure your child can use a protractor, translate a shape and look for a mirror line. Challenge them to a game of 3D shape dominoes, make a right-angle measurer and get started!
Reflective symmetry
Complete these pictures to show the shape reflected in the dotted line of symmetry. You could use a small mirror to show what the other half of the shape should look like.
Reading compass directions
Welcome to Skull Rock! Use the map to find your way around. Can you read the compass directions and answer these questions?
Properties of 2D shapes
Look at these shapes. Think about the statements in the table and draw each shape next to the statement that you think goes with it. You may need to use the corner of a book or piece of paper to check which angles are right angles.
Measuring angles: smaller or larger than a right angle
Are these angles smaller or larger than right angles? You may need to check. Write underneath each one if it is bigger than a right angle, smaller than a right angle or a right angle.
3D shapes matching
Can you match these shapes with the correct definitions?
2D or 3D shape?
Cut out these shape names. Can you organise them into two piles, one for 2D and one for 3D? Look around the room. Can you find an object to match each shape card? Stick the card to the object with Blu Tack!
What 2D shape am I?
Can you work out what all these 2D shapes are? Read the clue and draw the shape!
Make a 2D shape
Cut out the strips, then make some shapes! If you prefer you could use drinking straws.
Exploring shape: tessellation
Cut out the shapes below and make some tessellating patterns. Tessellating is a big word, but it just means shapes that fit together without any gaps!
Drawing and labelling a shape picture
Draw a picture of a building, a person, an alien… anything you want! You must make sure you include plenty of actual shapes though. Once you’ve finished, label your picture using shape words.
Continuing and making patterns
Can you continue these patterns by drawing the next pictures in each sequence?
2D and 3D shape Bingo
Each player has a board. The caller reads out a shape question from the list below. The person who has the correct answer on their board puts a counter on top of it. The winner is the player who covers all the shape names on their board first.

Half and quarter turns
Your child will learn about half and quarter turns at school by physically turning their body and facing different parts of a room. Can they use their knowledge to solve these simple problems?
Finding a quarter of a shape
Can a shape be cut into four pieces that are all the same shape and size? Help your child understand quarters with this practical worksheet.
Finding half of a shape
Help your child understand whether shapes can be halved equally with this worksheet. They'll put theory into practice by cutting out shapes and folding them in half.
