I organized these shape worksheets by grade level, as sometimes, if a child is motoring ahead, or lagging behind in a certain area, the last thing you as a parent wants to do is spend time scouring a website looking for the next level worksheet. If you are currently working on a specific grade level rather than this specific topic - please vist the geometry worksheets zone.

Geometry is the study of shapes, so this section cannot be overlooked by any student.  Many times, because of the structure of the elementary educations, a second grader has lost much of their knowledge of shape recognition.  This is because geometry is not an area of major focus in first or second grade.

I know this first hand.  My son could identify all shapes in Kindergarten (although he frequently mixed up trapeziums and trapezoids!)  RecentlyI give him a quick fact check after dinner - and he had forgotten all but the basic shapes like circles, squares rectangles and triangles! He is currently in second grade!

Don't let this happen to your kids. Use this section to refresh your kids memory, or use these printables as practice worksheets when they are first learning about the shapes.

Year 2 Shapes Worksheet

Year 2 Shapes Worksheet – Learning to make shapes is an important   element   of early   preschool education .   Not only can it help   children   develop   their   fine motor skills , and improve   their awareness of spatial space,   but   it also   helps improve their problem-solving   abilities . One of the   best ways   for teaching children about shapes   is   through the use of   worksheets for shapes .

Types of Shapes

A. Basic Shapes

Basic shapes form the basic   elements of geometry .   These shapes include circles,   triangles, squares ,   and ovals. These   are the shapes that are easiest   for toddlers to recognize   as well as learn .

B. 2D Shapes

2D shapes are flat forms   with only length   and width.   These shapes include squares,   triangles, rectangles, circles   in addition to diamonds .

C. 3D Shapes

3D shapes are forms that   are of length, width   and height.   These are shapes like cubes   spheres, cones, cylinders   and   pyramids .

Activities for Learning Shapes

A. Drawing Shapes

Drawing shapes   is an excellent   game for children to master   what names and characteristics are associated with   different   shapes.   Make sure your child draws   various   designs using a pencil and   paper.   You can offer examples   or templates   that can help them begin .   When they’re more confident   in their drawing, you can encourage them   the shapes on their own .

B. Tracing Shapes

Tracing shapes is a great   active activity that assists   children build their fine motor   abilities .   Help your child learn shapes by giving them   worksheets   that have dotted lines   around every   shape.   Encourage them to draw around   each shape with   either a pencil or crayon . This   can help them   recognize the name of the shape and   specific characteristics, as well as   how to   control   the hand movements .

C. Identifying Shapes

Learning to recognize shapes is an essential   aspect that children are required to   acquire .   Give your child worksheets   with different shapes on   the worksheets and ask them to   find each shape .   You may also help them   in naming the distinct features   of   each shape, including   the   size of the sides or the   inclusion of curves .

How to Use Shapes Worksheets

A. Downloading and Printing

To be able to use the worksheets for shapes , you will need to   print them and download   them.   Many websites offer free shapes   worksheets   you can   print and download at home .   Choose the worksheets that are   suitable   for your child’s age as well as   competence level .

B. Using Manipulatives

Manipulatives are items that children   can play with to manipulate   the shapes using their hands .   Examples of manipulatives are blocks   along with puzzles, shape   sorters. Encourage your   child to play with   manipulatives   to accompany their shapes worksheets   in order to increase their understanding .

C. Encouraging Independent Learning

Shapes worksheets can also be   employed to encourage self-learning .   Your child should be provided with   the worksheets , and allow   students to study them   at their own pace . Encourage   children to ask questions when   they aren’t sure of something .

Making shapes worksheets part of   the curriculum of your child can be   an enjoyable and beneficial way   to   teach them about   shapes. Activities   such as   drawing, tracing   and   identifying   shapes can aid in developing   his fine motor ability   as well as   spatial awareness.   Making use of manipulatives along with worksheets will   help them learn more,   while encouraging independent learning , it can   enhance their confidence .   Utilizing worksheets for shapes,   it is possible to help your child   develop important skills that will   bring them success in the years   to   follow .

This is a year two worksheet. The child has to identify 2D shapes and then their properties: sides and corners. To assist the child to spell the names of the shapes there is a spelling aid. Spelling aid also could be used for LA/SEND to practice cutting skills and gluing the names in place instead of writing.
