A set of puzzles that match up 2-D shapes and their properties.

Use these simple 2-D shape puzzles in your classroom as a math center activity or fast finisher activity.

Students match the pieces to create a full page with correct information about a specific 2-D shape. Some descriptions of vertices and sides can be applied to multiple shapes.

Shapes include:

square
rectangle
triangle
circle
pentagon
hexagon
octagon
oval.

Printing puzzles on cardstock increases their durability in the classroom. Use the drop-down menu to choose the download that works best for you.
