Five pages of 2-D shape matching for Year 1 maths. Pupils join shape names to pictures, spot shapes that are stretched, shrunk or turned, match shapes to everyday objects like a clock face and a door, then tick the rule that makes a rectangle into a square. An answer key is included. It covers the England National Curriculum objective on naming common 2-D shapes.

Words like square and circle joined to matching pictures.
The same shapes stretched, shrunk or turned, including a tilted square.
Shapes matched to everyday objects such as a clock face and a wooden door.
