2D Shapes Robot Labelling cut/stick activity

What’s included?

This download includes three A4, portrait pdf sheets to label seven ‘2D shapes and their properties’ on the Robot’s control panel.

What’s it for?

This resource is to recognise/read and match words/vocabulary to 2D shape images to reinforce/develop further understanding of 2D shapes and their properties.

Who’s it for?

This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

Resource Details

The seven 2D shapes investigated in this activity are a semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.

Learners will need a pencil (to write their name on page 1), scissors and a glue stick to complete this activity.

• Page 1 features the Robot’s ‘control panel’ which has been enlarged from page 2 to provide a large size and clear space for learners to label the different properties of each shape. The dotted lines on page 1 indicate where learners should position the different labels. Learners do not cut out any part of page 1!

• Page 2 includes four sets of labels (there are exactly the correct amount of labels provided to complete each 2D shape featured. These labels are the names of the shapes, the number of sides each shape has, the number of vertices each shape has, whether the shapes have ‘curved’ sides (only two do - the circle and semi circle). The green ticks can be stuck next to these two shapes. All labels have dotted lines indicate where to cut.

• Page 3 includes the same 2D shapes on the robot’s control panel to cut out and hold (to investigate). It would be most helpful for learners to have access to a set of these while completing this activity especially for learners who do not know the information (to complete the labels).

An adult could pre-cut the labels for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.
