Sorting 2D Shapes WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 2
Learning objective: Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line.

Sorting 2D Shapes WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet asks students to name 12 different regular and irregular polygons before cutting each shape out.

Then over the next four pages, learners will sort these shapes into different categories.

The categories are designed to encourage students to consider and discuss numbers of sides, vertices and lines of symmetry in shapes.

We have included a Venn diagram for sorting too.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

This worksheet helps Year 2 pupils identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, focusing particularly on counting sides and recognising vertical line symmetry. Through the sorting activities, children will develop their understanding of how shapes can be grouped by their mathematical properties. The hands-on cutting and categorising approach makes these abstract concepts more accessible for young learners.
