Make your 2D Shape Hunt meaningful with this Foundation, Kindergarten and Grade 1 follow up activity designed to reinforce 2D shape recognition in real world contexts.
After a classroom or school shape hunt, students practise identifying 2D shapes, review their learning and demonstrate their understanding using these engaging recording sheets. They are also ideal for maths centres, early finishers and independent learning.
Why You'll Love This Resource
A shape hunt is always exciting. What happens once students return to the classroom?
These recording sheets help students reflect on what they discovered by identifying, drawing and connecting 2D shapes to objects in their environment. The activities encourage observation, critical thinking and meaningful discussions while strengthening students' understanding of everyday shapes.
With multiple recording options included, you can easily differentiate instruction or use the pages for pre assessment, post assessment, independent work or classroom review.
What's Included
- 3 printable 2D Shape Hunt recording sheets
-
Shape Hunt Option 1: Students draw four objects they found during their shape hunt, then identify and colour the matching 2D shapes.
