Curriculum

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.2

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.3

Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.4

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having s...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.6

Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?"
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1

Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.G.A.1

Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangl...
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.B.3

Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

Math K.6(A)

Identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares as special rectangles;
Math K.6(C)

Identify two-dimensional components of three-dimensional objects;
Math K.6(F)

Create two-dimensional shapes using a variety of materials and drawings.
Math 1.6(A)

Classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes based on attributes using informal geometric language;
Math 1.6(C)

Create two-dimensional figures, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons;
Math 1.6(F)

Compose two-dimensional shapes by joining two, three, or four figures to produce a target shape in more than one way if possible;
Math 2.8(C)

Classify and sort polygons with 12 or fewer sides according to attributes, including identifying the number of sides and number of vertices;
Math 3.6(A)

Classify and sort two- and three-dimensional figures, including cones, cylinders, spheres, triangular and rectangular prisms, and cubes, based on attributes using formal geometric language;
Math 4.6(D)

Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size.
Math 5.5

Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to classify two-dimensional figures by attributes and properties. The student is expected to classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy of sets and subsets ...

Differentiated 2D Shapes and 3D Shapes Worksheets K-6

Leveled worksheet sets are an excellent tool for teachers to help students practice their skills in a particular area of math. Use these curriculum-aligned worksheets to check students’ understanding of the names, properties and features of shapes. Each of these leveled worksheet sets caters to a different level of learner. Select between versions (grade-leveled or without the grade shown).

These worksheet sets are aligned to the relevant curriculum code for each grade from Kindergarten to Sixth Grade. Use them to support your Geometry lessons in your elementary classroom! Our team of teachers has designed each set of sheets with the relevant grade-level curriculum standards in mind.

The topics covered in each level are:

Kindergarten: Basic 2D (two-dimensional) shapes: triangle, square, circle, rectangle and hexagon
One: 2D shapes and 3D shapes
Two: 2D shapes: descriptions and properties
Three: 3D shapes: descriptions and properties; prisms
Four: regular and irregular shapes
Five: nets of 3D shapes
Six: constructing prisms and pyramids

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:

math group
fast finisher activity
homework task
whole-class review (via smartboard)

Easily Download & Print

Use the dropdown icon on the Download button to choose between the PDF or Google Slides version of this resource. Once you’ve determined which format you’d like your download in, decide whether you’d like the pack with the year level displayed at the top of the sheet, or to have no year level displayed (best for differentiation).

Because this resource includes an answer sheet, we recommend you print one copy of the entire file. Then, make photocopies of the blank worksheet for students to complete.

To save paper, we suggest printing these worksheets double-sided.

Don’t stop there! We’ve got more Shape activities to reduce your lesson planning time:
