10 Geometry Worksheets: Students practice identifying, drawing, and labeling 2D and 3D shapes, counting sides and faces, and comparing attributes.
2D and 3D Shape Sort: Students sort each shape into the correct box—2D or 3D—to reinforce spatial reasoning and shape recognition.
Critical Thinking “Garage” Activity: Students follow written directions to place shapes on the correct shelves inside their “geometry garage,” building logic and listening skills.
Emoji Math Sort: Students place a smile or frown emoji to mark correct and incorrect answers on shape identification or 2D/3D distinction task cards.
Game #1: Line Them Up! Teams race to arrange shape cards in the correct order or groupings to match the clues.
