Shape and measures Maths Worksheets For Year 2 (age 6-7)
Expectations are high when it comes to shape in Year 2! Children are expected to describe, visualise, classify and draw a wide variety of 2D and 3D shapes. Reflective symmetry is introduced and the idea that an angle is a measure of turn is very important to understand, as well as introducing the right angle.
Standard metric measures are introduced, including metres, litres and kilograms. Our worksheets provide plenty of opportunity for practical work as well as reading the numbered divisions on a scale.
Shape colour patterns 4
Can you draw and colour the missing shapes in these patterns?
Shape colour patterns 5
More patterns, but there may be more than one possible pattern on some.
5 sided shapes
Use a geoboard to find as many 5 sided shapes as possible.
Recognise right angles (1)
Find right angles in the world about us.
Recognise right angles (2)
Recognise right angles in shapes.
Recognise right angles and draw 2D shapes
Recognise and draw right angles and various 2D shapes. A ruler is necessary.
What shape am I?
Recognising the properties of triangles, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons.
Sorting pentagons and hexagons
Recognising and sorting 5 and 6 sided shapes.
Shapes from 4 squares
How many different shapes can be made from joining 4 squares?
Shapes from 5 cubes
How many different shapes can be made from 5 cubes?
Identify 2-D Shapes On 3-D Shapes
Recognise and identify common 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes.
Word Problems with Measurement
Word problems using length and mass. All quite straightforward using addition and multiplication.
Measure with a metre rule
It's time to go outside and measure strides and standing long jumps!
Centimetres (2)
Estimate and measure various household objects using a centimetre ruler or tape measure.
Estimating using cubes and matchsticks
Lots of cubes and matchsticks for this tricky little probem.
Which unit to measure with
Find the best unit of measurement to use.
Symmetry 1
Draw lines of symmetry and complete symmetrical patterns. Quite hard for young children and a mirror is useful!
Which unit to measure with (2)
Find things which can be measured using each of the units shown.
Reading scales (2)
Read numbered divisions on a scale and interpret the divisions beween them.
Reading scales (Capacity 1)
Reading scales on a measuring cylinder.
Reading scales (Capacity 2)
More on reading scales using litres.
Reading scales (Capacity 4)
More cylinders with scales: going up in fives.
Heavier or lighter than a kilo
Heavier or lighter than a kilo
Reading scales (kilos)
Weighing scales can often look similar to a clock face, making them tricky to read accurately.
Clockwise and anticlockwise turns
Introducing the terms clockwise and anticlockwise for showing turns.
Position on a map
Give directions and answer questions using the Mathstown plan.
