2D Shapes Color by Number Activity (UK)

Engage students in learning 2D shapes with this colorful math activity. The 2-page printable includes shapes to identify and color-code based on a key, allowing learners to check their work. To implement, print pages for individuals or small groups. First, students will write the correct name of each featured 2D shape, then color the corresponding number on the key. An answer sheet allows self-checking before coloring. This independent activity reviews shape names and attributes in an interactive way. It works well for seatwork, homework, or early finishers. The color-by-number format adds an engaging twist to shape practice for grades 1-3. Extend learning by discussing how real-world objects or art incorporate 2D shapes.
