Our shapes and geometry resources include 2D shape sorting activities, 3D object nets, symmetry mirrors, transformation slides, location and mapping activities and spatial reasoning challenges. From identifying shapes in Foundation to calculating angles in Year 6.
About Shapes Resources
Shapes and geometry resources bring the visual, spatial strand of primary mathematics to life for Australian students. The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics measurement and geometry strand develops students' understanding of 2D shapes, 3D objects, symmetry, angles, position and direction, and spatial reasoning from Foundation through to Year 6. Geometry is one of the most visual and hands-on areas of mathematics, and quality resources make these concepts engaging and accessible for all learners.
TeachBuySell's shapes and geometry collection includes 2D shape sorting and identification activities, 3D object exploration resources, symmetry activities, angle classification tasks, grid and mapping activities, and spatial reasoning puzzles. Resources are available for every year level, from simple shape naming and sorting in Foundation to classifying quadrilaterals, calculating perimeter and area, and exploring transformations in upper primary.
Geometry connects naturally to art and design, measurement, and real-world problem solving. Many of our geometry resources include real-world contexts and cross-curricular connections that help students see the relevance of spatial thinking beyond the mathematics classroom. Whether you are exploring flat and solid shapes with young learners, investigating symmetry and transformations in middle primary, or developing angle and coordinate knowledge with upper primary students, our collection has resources to bring geometry to life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there resources for teaching both 2D shapes and 3D objects?
Yes. Our collection covers both 2D shapes (triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles) and 3D objects (prisms, pyramids, spheres, cylinders, cones), with resources for sorting, naming, describing properties, and building shapes at a range of year levels.
Can I find symmetry resources for primary students?
Absolutely. Symmetry is a popular topic and we have a wide range of resources including symmetry drawing activities, symmetry sorting tasks, and investigations of symmetrical patterns in nature and design.
Are there resources for spatial reasoning and position?
Yes. Our geometry collection includes position and direction resources, grid map activities, and spatial reasoning puzzles that develop students' ability to visualise, describe, and navigate in space — skills relevant across many curriculum areas.
Do geometry resources include angle activities for upper primary?
Yes. We have resources for Year 4 through Year 6 covering angle identification, classification, estimation, and measurement, as well as activities connecting angle knowledge to shapes and real-world contexts.
Are there hands-on geometry resources I can use for maths centres?
Many of our geometry resources are designed for hands-on use in maths centres or rotations, including shape sorting activities, tangram puzzles, construction tasks, and manipulative-based investigations.
