Looking for activities on teaching polygons? This worksheet is shaping up to be just what you need! This resource covers the content on 2D shapes from Year 3 to prepare your children for the new learning of regular and irregular polygons in Year 5.

There is a rich coverage of content, including fluency and problem solving, to engage and support pupils so that they feel confident and ready to learn new skills. An answer sheet is provided too so that children can self assess their own learning.


Curriculum Objectives

  • Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines
