Properties of Shapes KS1

Position and Direction KS1

These lower primary problems will extend children's understanding of position and direction.

Position and Direction KS2

These upper primary problems will extend children's understanding of position and direction.

Find the hidden shapes in the picture.

2. Use the language of shapes

Try to use the specific mathematical language when talking about shapes. For example, there is no 2D shape called a diamond . The shape your child might think is a diamond is either a square , a rhombus , or a kite .

Try giving your child a 3D shape (for example, a cereal box) to touch and explore. Encourage them to use specific language such as  straight, curved, edges, faces ,   and corners/vertices to describe it. For example:

The cereal box is a cuboid . It has six faces and eight corners . All of its edges are straight.

You could also try showing your child a cylinder and a cube and asking them to describe their similarities and differences. For example, while they are both 3D shapes, cylinders have two circular faces and a curved surface whereas cubes have six square faces.

3. Play ‘guess the shape’ games

You could play a game with 3D shapes and a bag that your child cannot see through:

• Hide a shape in the bag and ask your child to feel the shape.
• Ask your child to describe the shape as best they can and try to work out what it is.
• Once your child has told you what shape they think it is, take it out to see if they were correct.

This will help children to begin visualising the shapes, which is an important skill they need to develop. If you’re out and about, you can play a different version of this game. Think of a shape and prompt your child to ask you questions in order to guess the shape. You can only answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

4. Play ‘find the object’ games

Try to find everyday opportunities to use the language of position, direction, and motion. For example:

Left, right, top, middle, bottom, on top of, in front of, above, between, around, near, close and far, up, down, forwards, backwards, inside and outside .

You could play a game with your child by hiding an object around the house for them to find. Encourage them to ask questions using the language mentioned above. For example:

‘Is the object hidden inside a drawer?’ ‘If I move backwards , will I be closer to the hidden object?’

Years 1 & 2: Geometry

This list consists of visual resources, activities and games designed to support the new curriculum programme of study in Years 1 and 2. Containing tips on using the resources and suggestions for further use it covers:

Year 1: recognise and name common 2D and 3D shapes and describe position, directions and movements, including half, quarter and three-quarter turns.

Year 2 : identify and describe the properties of 2D shapes, including the number of sides and symmetry in a vertical line, identify and describe the properties of 3D shapes, including the number of edges, vertices and faces, identify 2-D shapes on surface of 3-D shapes and compare and sort common 2-D and 2-D shapes and everyday objects.

Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction and movement.

Visit the primary mathematics webpage to access all lists.

YouTube: 3D Shapes Song

Listen to a song which shows examples of spheres, cylinders, cubes and cones. This could be used at the start of a lesson on 3D shapes before asking children to find examples of the shapes from a teacher selection and then within the classroom. Children could make up their own songs for learning about other 3D shapes.

Shape and Space

Quality Assured Category: Mathematics Publisher: Teachers TV

Outdoor learning always motivates children so the shape hunt idea is perfect for Year 1 learning to recognise shapes in the outdoor environment. A shape sorting activity helps assess the children's learning of shapes and their properties.

Making shapes with elastic bands is a great way of identifying and describing 2-D shapes and can be used as a paired activity with children challenging each other to create different shapes.

The first 6 minutes of this video show how children are guided into constructing 3D shapes from 2D diagrams using drinking straws and modelling dough. This is a great way of learning about the properties of 3D shapes, including faces, edges and vertices and also a great way of assessing this learning.In the plenary, children play a game where they listen to the properties of a shape being described including the shape of the faces. Though done with a Year 3 class this idea could be adapted for Year 2.

Shape Activities for Students Aged 5-7

Quality Assured Category: Mathematics Publisher: BEAM Education

The game What's that? allows children to practise matching names to shapes. 

The worksheet Shapes practises shape recognition and colours by asking children to colour in different shapes in different colours within a pattern.

Squares and circles is a worksheet which could be used to support children in recognising and drawing squares and circles. It could be extended to drawing a person from triangles.

Let's Investigate Triangles

An NRICH investigation where children discover the different shapes of triangles for themselves using coloured rods or sticks. This could be run as a whole class investigation, in small groups with adult support or as part of an enrichment task depending on when taught and the overall readiness of the class. It requires coloured construction rods but contains a printable sheet showing the rods which may be used instead.

Starting Algebra / Shape and Space

Quality Assured Category: Mathematics Publisher: Collins Educational

Sometimes you may want a different way of practising an area of mathematics or even a worksheet, game or puzzle. This book provides 40 worksheets which may be used in KS1 to practise many areas of mathematics, or to support children in KS2.

Drawing shape characters is a fun way of recognising and naming 2-D shapes It can be found on sheet 33 page 76.

In Year 2 children are asked to describe position, direction and movement.

Practise giving and following directions on sheet 32, page 73 where children learn about moving along a straight line and turning through a right angle.

Play 'Twiddles' as a way of practising turns. The activity could be adapted to include half and three quarter turns and to include turning through right angles in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. This activity is on Sheet 34, page 77 on pdf.
