This Comparing 2D and 3D Shapes Worksheet is a great way for students to sort shapes based on different shape attributes. By doing this, they will build strong shape recognition skills.
In the classroom
Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Compare properties of flat and solid shapes
Sort a shape according to sides, angles, faces, or component figures
Recognize that one shape can fit multiple property categories
Teaching tips
Name the relevant property aloud before placing each shape on a chart.
Invite learners to justify one shape appearing in more than one category.
Skills covered
Geometric classification — figures are sorted by observable properties.
2D/3D comparison — sides and angles are considered alongside faces.
Multiple-attribute reasoning — one object may satisfy several criteria.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Is this only a flat-shape versus solid-shape sort?
No. The charts also use properties such as sides, angles, faces, triangles and squares, so students compare several attributes.
