By the end of Year 1 children will be expected to identify simple 2D and 3D shapes. The main 2D shapes are rectangles (including squares), circles and triangles and we have just published an on-screen activity to help with identifying all these shapes. For 3D shapes children are asked to recognise cubes, pyramids, cones and cylinders.Both these on-screen activities have similar ‘One Minute Challenges’ with gold, silver and bronze rewards awarded for fast, accurate answers. They are a great supplement to our written pages on 2D and 3D shape.Go to Year 1 Shape
