Composite Figures Worksheet Grade 2

Making Composite Shapes begins with physical construction using straws, twist ties, or other available materials. Students combine simpler two-dimensional or three-dimensional forms into larger composite structures, then sketch what they made. Labels identify the component shapes within each construction, connecting manipulation with geometric vocabulary. The open task allows multiple valid designs and encourages learners to explain how a complex figure can be decomposed into recognizable parts.
