What's inside this resource

2D Shapes Color by Number Activity Engage young math learners by reviewing 2D shapes with this colorful printable. Students will label common 2D shapes like triangles, rectangles, and circles on the activity sheet. Then they will solve simple problems that assign a color to each shape. Using the answer key, learners will color in the corresponding shapes on the second page according to the number key to reveal a fun picture. This independent activity is perfect for 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms. Send it home for homework or use it for early finishers who need extra practice recognizing attributes of shapes. Pair it with lessons about sides, vertices, faces, lines, and angles for a comprehensive geometry unit. Modify it for multiple ability levels by adjusting the complexity of the shape names.
