A labelling diagram on shape properties for Year 2 maths. Pupils label six points across a hexagon, cylinder and pyramid, choosing terms such as vertex, side, vertical line of symmetry and triangle face from the word bank. All six answers are given in the key. Supports two England National Curriculum geometry objectives.
Geometry - properties of shapes
“Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and line symmetry in a vertical line”
The hexagon's vertex, side and symmetry line all need naming.
Geometry - properties of shapes
“Identify 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes [for example, a circle on a cylinder and a triangle on a pyramid]”
The cylinder's circle face and the pyramid's triangle face come straight from the example.
Six terms: square face, vertical line of symmetry, side, triangle face, vertex, circle face.
A hexagon, cylinder and pyramid with six points, A to F, to label with leader lines.
All six labels confirmed.
