Challenge your children to recognise and describe 2D shapes when you download this Year 3 Recognise and Describe 2D Shapes challenge activity.

With a choice of two questions, this resource is designed to challenge the children's understanding, inspire curiosity, and prompt mathematical discussions about recognising and describing 2D shapes.

Ideal for use in pairs or small groups, this resource could also be given as an extra challenge at home. It comes complete with answers to encourage self and peer assessment where appropriate.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines
  • Draw 2-D shapes
  • Recognise that angles are a property of shape or a description of a turn
  • Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle
