Classify Shapes With Our Attributes of 2D Shapes Worksheet Set

This attributes of 2D shapes worksheet set is an engaging resource that helps students explore geometric shapes in a fun and organised way. With unique ‘stats cards,’ this worksheet allows students to draw, name and analyse a variety of 2D shapes. As they work, they will document the number of vertices and sides while also describing the key attributes of each shape. This resource is perfect for deepening students’ understanding of shapes and their properties!

Key features of each profile card:

• A spot for students to draw and name the shape
• A section for students to record the number of vertices and sides present
• Writing space to list additional shape attributes and characteristics

Three different colours and a black-and-white version of this attributes of 2D shapes worksheet set are provided for variety and practicality. 

Using This 2D Shape Attributes Worksheet

This 2D shape attributes worksheet set can be used in many different ways! Here are a few usage suggestions and tips to get your students learning: 

• Laminate for Reuse – Print the attributes of 2D shapes worksheet of your choice on cardboard, and then laminate. Provide students with a whiteboard marker so they can fill these attribute profiles out again and again depending on what shapes they are learning that day. 
• Attribute Card Set – Print multiple copies of the template and cut the three ‘cards’ on the templates out of each. Challenge students to create a complete card set of all the 2D shapes they have learnt! Once made, these can be used for a variety of games, like ‘Go Fish.’ 
• Colour Coding – Use all four colours provided to sort shapes by their attributes. For example, shapes with three sides can be put onto the green template, shapes with four sides on the blue, or shapes with one pair of parallel sides on pink, and shapes with two pairs on grey. Let students get creative in their sorting!
