Support children in applying their knowledge of 2D shape properties with this engaging Year 2 Count Vertices on 2D Shapes reasoning and problem solving resource. We've created two different problem solving style questions and a reasoning style question and provided two of each question type for children to get to grips with. This resource has been differentiated three ways, so we are sure there is something for all learners. Below is a brief outline of how the differentiation differs according to the level of challenge:

Developing: Questions based on all shapes being regular and presented with the same orientation. Visual support provided.

Expected: Questions based on regular and some irregular shapes, presented with different orientations. Some visual support provided.

Greater Depth: Questions based on no visual support provided.

Use this resource as an independent learning task or allow children to work in pairs or small groups to encourage mathematical language to develop as they navigate each question. We've included a handy answer sheet to speed up marking or this could be used as a peer or self marking tool.
