2D flat shape posters

Welcome your students to the enchanting and exciting world of shapes! With our 2D Shapes Flat Posters, your students can explore 12 shape labels in two unique and colourful ways. These 24 vivid posters, featuring real-life images, help your students make connections between the shapes and their own environment. These posters provide an amazing visual representation to aid your students in recognising two-dimensional shapes all around them. They are perfect for helping young learners build their maths/shape vocabulary!
There are 12 printed labels and 24 photo posters, supplied in two overlapping 24-page PDF layouts (48 physical pages total). The labels are: circle, oval, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Each label has two photograph posters; diamond and rhombus use the same examples. Especially useful in Nursery (Early Years) and Year 1 as students are being introduced to shapes and their names.

Continue the learning by using the 3D shape version of these posters! You can download them on Teach Simple by clicking here.

K.G.A.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

With separately supplied 3D examples, extend to K.G.A.3: Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

K.G.B.4 Analyse and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
