Name the 2D Shapes

This activity is about spotting 2D shapes.

2D shapes are 2 dimensional shapes.

This just means that they can be drawn on paper.

Remember this is a square. It has four sides which are all the same length.

But this is also a square, even though it's been turned.

But this is also a rectangle, even though it's been turned.

This is a triangle. It has three sides.

This is a circle. It has only one side that goes all the way round.
