Year 1 2D and 3D Shapes Assessment

Check pupils’ understanding of geometry with this Year 1 2D and 3D shapes assessment. This printable assessment paper is ideal for the end of Autumn Block 3 and includes a range of child-friendly questions that assess recognising, naming and sorting common shapes, as well as understanding simple shape patterns.

Pupils complete questions such as ticking the correct 2D shapes, naming a shape shown partially in a picture, and matching or labelling common 3D shapes including cube, cuboid, cone, cylinder and sphere. The assessment also includes counting 2D shapes in a picture, sorting 3D shapes into groups, finishing a repeating pattern, labelling 2D shapes such as circle, square, rectangle and triangle, and identifying pyramids from a set of 3D shapes.
