Colour by 2D Shapes - Worksheet Pack
This engaging worksheet pack reinforces shape recognition by having students identify and colour 2D shapes using a key. Each page features a different fun image composed of common 2D shapes including circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, ovals, and pentagons.
Students are instructed to:
- Use the colour key to identify shapes
- Colour each part of the image according to the shape type
Ideal for independent work, maths rotations, early finishers, or reinforcing geometry vocabulary.
Learning goals
- We are learning to sort, describe and name 2D shapes and 3D objects based on common features.
- We are learning to describe the features of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects.
- We are learning to use features to describe and draw two-dimensional shapes.
- We are learning to describe the features of three-dimensional objects.
- We are learning to sort, name, make and describe familiar shapes using obvious features.
- We are learning to make, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features.
- We are learning to recognise, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features and spatial terms, e.g. opposite, parallel, curved, straight.
