2D Shapes with Tim

This handy worksheet supports your students to draw 2D shapes based on the description provided. Then, students practice describing the features of a kite.

Learning goals

We are learning to use features to describe and draw two-dimensional shapes.
We are learning to recognise, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features and spatial terms, e.g. opposite, parallel, curved, straight.
