Shape and Space
Shape and space resources for KS1 and KS2
Explore our shape and space resources for primary maths, including 2D and 3D shape activities, worksheets and practical tasks that support pupils with recognising shapes, describing properties and using correct mathematical vocabulary.
This collection is especially useful for KS1, with popular resources for Year 1 shape worksheets and early 2D shape activities. Try our 2D shape cut and stick activity as a starting point for identifying and naming shapes.
As pupils move into KS2, you will also find resources that extend learning into perimeter and reasoning about shape, such as our Year 3 perimeter worksheets for rectangles and squares.
2D and 3D shape activities, worksheets and problem solving
Secure understanding of shape and space helps pupils build strong foundations in geometry. These resources support the children as they learn to recognise 2D and 3D shapes, describe sides, vertices and faces, and explore symmetry, patterns and spatial reasoning.
For Year 1, you will find a range of shape worksheets and activities that develop early confidence with naming and sorting shapes. For older pupils, geometry tasks introduce important concepts such as measuring and calculating perimeter, supporting pupils as they apply shape knowledge in problem solving contexts.
If you are searching for Year 1 shapes worksheets, 2D shape activities for KS1, or 3D shapes resources for Year 2, this page brings together classroom-ready materials to support progression across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
Alongside shape learning, you may also find practical resources such as number formation cards to 20 useful for supporting early maths recording and presentation.
