Students can show their understanding of corners or vertices of common 2D shapes using this 2D Shapes: How Many Corners? worksheet set. These activities are a great way for students to practise counting and identifying shape features while building their mathematical vocabulary.

Students complete each worksheet by counting the number of corners or vertices in each shape and colouring in the number that matches. Multiple versions are included so you can choose whether to use the term “corners” or “vertices” to suit your classroom language. Differentiated worksheets are also provided—students can work with either twelve shapes or six shapes depending on their level.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify and name common 2D shapes
• ✅ Count corners or vertices accurately
• ✅ Use correct shape-related vocabulary
• ✅ Engage in differentiated tasks to suit learning needs

What’s Included:

• Multiple worksheet versions using either “corners” or “vertices”
• 12-shape and 6-shape options for easy differentiation

Materials Needed:

• Printed worksheets
• Pencils or colouring tools

How to Use:

• • Print the version appropriate for your class and learning goals
• • Students count the number of corners or vertices for each shape
• • They colour in the correct number from a small set of options
• • Use as a follow-up to explicit instruction or as a revision activity

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during maths rotations or in small group teaching
• 💡 Pair with physical shape manipulatives to support counting
• 💡 Display finished worksheets alongside shape posters on your maths wall

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Introduce with a shape hunt using real classroom objects
• 💛 Pair with shape vocabulary cards to reinforce key terms
