Shape and turn practice for Year 1 maths. Pupils label 2-D shapes from a word bank, match everyday objects to 3-D shapes like spheres and cuboids, then work out what Teddy faces after half, quarter and whole turns. An answer key covers all three sections. Both England National Curriculum geometry objectives for Year 1 are included.
Geometry — properties of shapes
“Recognise and name common 2-D and 3-D shapes, including: 2-D shapes [for example, rectangles (including squares), circles and triangles] 3-D shapes [for example, cuboids (including cubes), pyramids and spheres].”
Sections 1 and 2 name both flat and solid shapes.
Geometry — position and direction
“Describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns.”
The Turning Teddy questions reason about half and whole turns.
Labelling squares, circles, triangles and rectangles from a word bank.
Matching objects to sphere, cuboid, cube and pyramid.
Working out what Teddy faces after half and whole turns.
Answers for all three sections.
Topic recap
Covers shapes and turns together at the end of a geometry block.
Assessment check
Three distinct sections show which geometry objective needs revisiting.
Guided group
Act out the Teddy turns with a real toy before writing answers.
