Shape Maths Worksheets For Year 3 (age 7-8)
More complex 2D and 3D shapes are introduced and classified according to their properties. Drawing and completing shapes with reflective symmetry is developed further. An important aspect of this year is to develop the vocabulary of position, direction and movement, using compass points and identifying right angles turns.
Prisms
It’s all about prisms. They are solid shapes that are the same shape and size all the way down. Well, that’s the easy way to describe them!
Properties of 3D Shapes
Children have to recognise, know and describe the properties of some pretty tricky 3D shapes, including, spheres, cuboids and pyramids.
Properties of 2D Shapes
More about 2D shapes in this set of worksheets, especially quadrilaterals.
Make 2D Shapes
It can be great fun moving shapes around and joining them to make other shapes, so why not try one of the investigations on these 2D shape worksheets.
Make 2D Patterns
More shape work. This time making patterns with rectangles and triangles and investigating patterns using hexagons.
Make 3D Shapes
It would be a great idea to have a set of cubes which link together to help with these pages.
Symmetry
How many letters of the alphabet have a line of symmetry? Make fantastic patterns using rotational symmetry as well as other symmetry activities.
Describe Position
An introduction to co-ordinates as a way of describing the position of objects on grids and maps.
Understand Angle
Angle is a measure of turn. Compass points, clockwise and anticlockwise turns and right angles all come into this set of worksheets.
