2nd - 4th Grade Two-Dimensional Shapes Educational Resources

For students who learn by doing, this exercise will make learning different shapes’ classifications much easier.


Classifying Shapes

Fourth graders will discover the building blocks of geometry in this unit: points, lines, line segments and rays. Students will explore the properties of different shapes, including symmetry, parallel and perpendicular lines, and 900 angles. Students will apply their understanding as they learn to sort shapes based on these properties.

Geometry 6

This guided geometry lesson takes second graders on an exploration of 2D and 3D shapes. Kids will learn how to sort shapes, as well as partition them into halves, quarters and thirds. Tangrams are also featured within the exercise in order to give kids practical ways of practicing their new geometry skills. For more printable practice, try the geometry worksheets recommended by our curriculum advisors to accompany this lesson.

Geometry 4

Geometry in third grade introduces kids to the idea that shapes have different categories (rectangles, rhombuses, etc..) attributes (four-sided, etc...) and areas of different values. This lesson, designed by our curriculum experts, provides the guided instruction and practice that third graders need to conceptualize shapes in a deeper way. For more practice, download and print the third grade geometry worksheets recommended as part of this lesson.

Geometry 5

Review second grade geometry concepts from two- and three-dimensional shapes to symmetry with this helpful shape study guide.

Shape Review: Line Segments, Symmetry, and More

Craft a paper rocket in this hands-on activity inspired by the life of Mae Jemison!

Rocket Like Mae Jemison

In this worksheet, learners will find and draw a line of symmetry on nine shapes.

Draw a Line of Symmetry

Build a solid geometry foundation with these hands-on shapes. Kids can practice identifying attributes of 2-D and 3-D shapes, then put their knowledge to the test by drawing and making 3-D shapes.

2-D and 3-D Shapes

Get ready to identify and circle the correct fraction! After finishing this worksheet, your second graders will have a better understanding of equal parts.

Identifying Halves, Thirds, and Fourths 

Help your third-grader learn to recognize quadrilaterals with this geometry worksheet.

Naming Quadrilaterals

Use this year-end assessment to check students’ grasp of key fourth grade geometry concepts.

Math Review Part 3: Geometry Galore!

Work with 2-D shapes and famliiarize yourself with concepts like halves, thirds, and fourths in this hands-on geometry workbook. Children practice identying parts of a whole and develop a meaningful understanding of fractions through exercises, games, and

Learning About Equal and Unequal Shares

Is your child in need of a geometry review? This worksheet covers the basic 2-D shapes, from circles and triangles to pentagons and hexagons.

2-D Shapes: Fill in the Table

On this geometry worksheet, your third-grader will look at the different triangles and label them as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene

Identifying Triangles

Reinforce your child&rsquo;s understanding of geometry and 2D shapes while learning about the artist Mary Blair and her amazing contributions to many loved movies, books, and characters throughout her career.

Make Art Like Mary Blair

Use this handy worksheet to help your students review those tricky polygons!

Polygon Practice

This worksheet will introduce your child to the three types of triangles: the equilateral triangle, the isosceles triangle and the scalene triangle.

Three Types of Triangles 

Use this resource to review 2-D shapes with your young mathematicians. Students will identify the names, number of edges, and number of vertices of common shapes as they work to fill in the blanks of this 2-D shape chart.

Comparing 2-D Shapes

Use this worksheet as a formative assessment for your students as they study the characteristics of polygons.

Categorizing Shapes Check 

Geometry isn't so scary when it comes with colorful designs and easy-to-interpret illustrations! In order to take on algebra later on, your student will first need to conquer basic geometry.

Geometry Shape Up

This fun geometry activity challenges your students to identify, color, and count all the trapezoids and other quadrilaterals hidden amongst a variety of two-dimensional shapes.

Trapezoids and Quadrilaterals

In this geometry exercise, children calculate the perimeter of various trapezoids by adding up the lengths of their sides.

Trapezoid Perimeters

Tickle your sweet tooth with this graphing worksheet! Your little baker will practice analyzing the data in a circle graph (or pie chart).

Circle Graph

Kids build their shape knowledge by identifying congruent shapes.

Shape Basics: Congruent Shapes

Kids get to know shapes better by counting their line segments, endpoints, and angles, and record the info in this handy chart.

Shape Basics: Lines, Endpoints, and Angles

A key characteristic of trapezoids is that they have a set of parallel lines—lines that never intersect. Use this helpful geometry resource with your students to practice identifying parallel lines in trapezoids and comparing different 2-D shapes.

Trapezoids and Parallel Lines

Bring geometry to life for your young ones with this butterfly symmetry activity that doubles as a coloring page! Your students will love learning all about extending patterns and matching shapes as they make their very own symmetrical butterflies!

Make it Match: Butterfly Symmetry

Give your students a chance to sort polygons into categories that make sense to them.

Polygon Shape Sort

Can you see the symmetry? Use this resource with your students to practice identifying shapes with symmetry. After your students identify the symmetrical shapes, they will draw a line of symmetry.

Shapes with Symmetry

Trapezoids are quadrilaterals with only one pair of parallel sides. This worksheet will help your students learn to identify and distinguish trapezoids from other two-dimensional shapes with the help of a word bank.
