Brighten up your classroom walls with our vibrant and engaging Maths shape poster year 2 core resource. Designed specifically for Key Stage 1 learners, this visual aid helps children identify and describe the properties of 2D and 3D shapes with confidence. Whether you are introducing new geometric terms or reinforcing previous learning, this Maths shape poster year 2 core serves as the perfect reference point for daily lessons.
Our poster features Max the monkey, who loves to turn every shape he sees into a fun maths puzzle. It clearly displays common 2D shapes like pentagons, hexagons, and octagons, alongside 3D shapes including spheres, pyramids, and prisms. Each section is colour-coded to help students recognise key features such as the number of sides, vertices, and faces. This resource is fully aligned with the UK National Curriculum for Year 2, helping pupils to compare and sort common shapes based on their properties.
Teachers can use this Maths shape poster year 2 core as a focal point during carpet time discussions or as a handy desk-side reference during independent work. It is perfectly differentiated for learners working at the expected standard, providing just the right level of challenge to build mathematical fluency.
To help you check understanding, we have included five follow-up questions at the bottom of the poster:
1. How many vertices does a triangle have?
2. Which 3D shape has a circular face?
3. Can you name a shape that has six equal sides?
4. How is a square different from a rectangle?
5. Max found a box shaped like a cuboid; how many faces does it have?
