Uncover the missing pepperoni shape in a pizza-themed shape sequence with this fun and interactive Pepperoni Shapes task card activity! This resource helps students practise identifying 2D shapes and patterns while engaging their problem-solving and visual reasoning skills.

This activity includes 48 task cards, each displaying a sequence of pepperoni shapes on a pizza. Students analyse the pattern, identify the missing shape, and draw it in the blank spot using a whiteboard marker. It’s a great way to combine shape knowledge with early sequencing skills.

To make the task more playful, students can pretend to be pizza delivery people checking that each pizza is correctly topped before it leaves the kitchen!

Shapes included: circle, rectangle, square, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, trapezoid, rhombus, star, heart, and oval.
