Sorting 2D shapes on a Venn diagram

Related Worksheets

Updated December 2017 - this is a new version that will work on a tablet or computer.

Sort a variety of 2D shapes on a Venn diagram. Sort by one or two conditions. Sort triangles - scalene, equilateral and isosceles. Sort quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, heptagons and octagons, as well as parallelograms, rhombus, kites and trapeziums. Also sort according to a shapes properties such as acute, obtuse, reflex or right angles and symmetry or whether it is a regular shape.

Game Objectives

New Maths Curriculum:

Year 2: Compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects

Year 3: Recognise angles as a property of shape and associate angles with turning

Year 4: Compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes

Year 5: Distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on reasoning about equal sides and angles

Year 6: Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons

KS2 Primary Framework:

Year 3:

Relate 2-D shapes and 3-D solids to drawings of them; describe, visualise, classify, draw and make the shapes (Block B)

Year 4:

Draw polygons and classify them by identifying their properties, including their line symmetry (Block B)

Year 5

Identify, visualise and describe properties of rectangles, triangles, regular polygons (Block B)

Year 6:

Describe, identify and visualise parallel and perpendicular edges or faces; use these properties to classify 2-D shapes and 3-D solids (Block B)
