Year 1 Maths Autumn Block 3 focuses on 2D and 3D shapes, helping pupils recognise, name and sort common shapes. Aligned with the Year 1 National Curriculum and White Rose Maths progression, pupils explore shapes through practical activities, visual representations and mathematical discussion.
Across the block, pupils recognise and name common 2D and 3D shapes, sort shapes in different ways and explore patterns made with shapes. Practical exploration helps pupils notice similarities and differences and use mathematical vocabulary to describe what they see.
Autumn Block 3 forms part of the Maths Masters Year 1 Autumn sequence. Explore the full term to see how 2D and 3D shape fits into the wider Year 1 maths progression.

Our Year 1 2D and 3D shape resources help pupils recognise, name, sort and compare common shapes. Pupils explore 2D shapes including rectangles, squares, circles and triangles, alongside 3D shapes including cubes, cuboids, pyramids and spheres.
The block includes Year 1 shape worksheets, teaching slides and practical 2D and 3D shape activities. Pupils practise recognising and naming shapes, sorting them in different ways and creating and exploring patterns using 2D and 3D shapes.
In Year 1 geometry, pupils learn to recognise and name common 2D and 3D shapes. Exploring, sorting and discussing shapes in different orientations and contexts helps pupils recognise that a shape remains the same even when its size, position or orientation changes.
