Year 2 Geometry Worksheets

We have packed quite a lot into these worksheets! Students start with basic shape identification before progressing to more challenging concepts like comparing shapes and finding patterns. The progression from simple recognition work to property-based questions really helps build that geometric thinking. Here's what particularly resonates with Year 2 learners:

• 2D shape recognition - circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons

• 3D shape identification - cubes, spheres, cylinders, pyramids

• Shape properties - counting sides, corners, and faces

• Pattern completion - using geometric sequences

• Symmetry basics - finding lines of symmetry in simple shapes

• Position and direction - using geometric vocabulary

Geometry skills connect beautifully with art lessons, PE activities, and even science topics about materials and structures. We have found that when students see these real-world connections, their engagement with geometric concepts increases dramatically. It's actually quite satisfying when they start spotting geometric patterns everywhere around them!

• Art and design - creating symmetrical patterns and shape-based artwork

• Construction play - building with blocks, understanding 3D structures

• Sports and movement - recognising geometric formations in games

• Nature exploration - identifying geometric patterns in leaves, flowers, and crystals

• Everyday objects - describing and categorising household items by shape

• Technology - understanding icons, symbols, and basic coding concepts
