What this worksheet teaches

• Combine two shapes to make a new one (two triangles into a square).
• Match a solid shape to the flat shapes on its faces.
• Name 2D shapes up to hexagons and pentagons by counting their sides.
• Identify 3D shapes - cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone - and count faces, edges and vertices.

How to use this worksheet

For symmetry, fold a paper copy of the shape rather than drawing the line. If the halves match, the fold is a line of symmetry; that physical check beats judging by eye.

Sample questions from this worksheet

Frequently asked questions

Why does my child undercount the faces of a cube?

Because a picture shows only three. Handling a real cube and marking each face as it is counted solves it - this is the single most common Grade 2 error in this topic.

What is the difference between an edge and a vertex?

An edge is a line where two faces meet; a vertex is a point where edges meet - the pointy bit. Tracing edges and tapping vertices keeps the words apart.

How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?

Two, not four. Children often add the diagonals, which is worth testing by folding a paper rectangle corner to corner and seeing that it does not match.
