Free Shape Colouring Page | Year 1 Core | BookFlik
Looking for a fun way to help your class master geometry? Our free Maths shape colouring page year 1 core resource is the perfect addition to your classroom toolkit. Designed specifically for Year 1 pupils, this activity helps children identify, name, and recognise common 2D and 3D shapes while developing their fine motor skills through creative colouring.
In this engaging activity, Max the monkey has arrived to help! Max thinks everything is a maths puzzle, so he has hidden various shapes within a beautiful garden scene. As children colour the page, they are tasked with finding and identifying triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles. This Maths shape colouring page year 1 core resource aligns perfectly with the UK National Curriculum, which requires Year 1 students to recognise and name common 2D shapes, including rectangles, squares, circles, and triangles, as well as 3D shapes like cuboids, pyramids, spheres, and cylinders.
Teachers can use this resource as a calming starter activity, a focused independent task during maths rotations, or as a home-learning bridge to reinforce classroom lessons. Because this is a Maths shape colouring page year 1 core level activity, it is pitched exactly at the expected standard for your learners. It encourages students to look closely at the properties of shapes, such as counting sides and vertices, while enjoying a creative break.
Included with the colouring sheet are 6 extension questions to deepen understanding:
1. Can you count how many triangles you coloured?
2. Which shape has four equal sides?
3. Can you find a shape with no corners?
4. How many rectangles can you see hidden in the garden fence?
5. If a square costs £1 and a circle costs £2, how much would one of each cost in total?
6. Can you draw your own triangle next to Max the monkey?
