This 2D shapes poster pack is an essential resource for any primary classroom. It’s designed to help your pupils confidently recognise and describe shapes.

Tailored to suit the progression of maths understanding from Year 2 to Upper Key Stage 2, this pack breaks down the key properties of regular 2D shapes, polygons, quadrilaterals and triangles.

Year 2

For Year 2, the 2D shapes posters introduce shapes like equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons.

Each poster clearly identifies the number of sides and vertices for each shape. This provides a simple yet effective visual aid to support pupils as they begin exploring geometry.

This is an excellent way to reinforce vocabulary and develop recognition skills. It helps students to see patterns and similarities between different shapes.

LKS2

In Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2), the posters go a step further, introducing additional concepts such as lines of symmetry, parallel lines and perpendicular lines.

This progression aligns with the National Curriculum, helping pupils deepen their understanding of shapes and develop more sophisticated vocabulary.

UKS2

By the time pupils reach UKS2, the posters expand to cover more complex properties like number of equal angles and the sum of angles.

In addition, this pack also covers types of polygons, quadrilaterals and triangles. From distinguishing between an isosceles triangle and a scalene triangle, to identifying the properties of a rhombus versus a kite, these 2D shapes posters serve as a handy reference.

The clear layout means pupils can quickly see how different shapes compare, which will support their learning and assist you in teaching shape classification in a meaningful, structured way.
