Making Two-Dimensional Shapes- Matching Worksheet

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Now that your learners recognize two-dimensional shapes, can they find what each half of those shapes would look like? There are seven shapes on this instructional activity, bisected by a dotted line. Scholars examine these shapes and match them to a picture of only half of each one. There is one tricky aspect here: one of the shapes appears to be three-dimensional. See if learners recognize which one it is!
