Shape Explorers: Sides, Solids and Turns
Year 2 • Ages 6–7 • Intermediate
Instructions: Explore the shapes and read each question carefully. Write your answers in the boxes. For the sorting activity, write each shape name in the correct group.
Count the Sides
Use the shape names and clues to work out how many straight sides each shape has. Write the number in the box.
1. A triangle has straight sides.
2. A square has straight sides.
3. A rectangle has straight sides.
4. A pentagon has straight sides.
5. A hexagon has straight sides.
Symmetry Spotters
A vertical line of symmetry goes from top to bottom and splits a shape into two matching halves. Write yes or no for each shape.
1. Does a square have a vertical line of symmetry?
2. Does a rectangle have a vertical line of symmetry?
3. Does a circle have a vertical line of symmetry?
4. Does a scalene triangle have a vertical line of symmetry?
5. Does a regular pentagon have a vertical line of symmetry?
Name the 3-D Shape
Read each set of properties. Write the name of the 3-D shape that matches. Use these names: cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid.
1. I have 6 square faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. What shape am I?
2. I have 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices. What shape am I?
3. I have 1 curved surface and no edges or vertices. What shape am I?
4. I have 2 flat circular faces, 1 curved surface and 2 edges. What shape am I?
5. I have 1 flat circular face, 1 curved surface and 1 vertex. What shape am I?
Compare and Sort Shapes
Sort the shape names into the two groups. Put 2-D shapes in the first box and 3-D shapes in the second box. Each name is used once.
Shape names: triangle, cube, circle, cone, rectangle, sphere

Right-Angle Turns
A quarter-turn is a turn through one right angle. Imagine you are facing forwards at the start. Write the direction you face after each turn.
1. Face forwards, then make a quarter-turn to your right. Which way are you facing?
2. Face forwards, then make a quarter-turn to your left. Which way are you facing?
3. Face forwards, then make a half-turn. Which way are you facing?
4. Face right, then make a quarter-turn to your left. Which way are you facing?
5. Face backwards, then make a quarter-turn to your right. Which way are you facing?
