Year 7 Shapes Worksheets | Printable PDFs
Year 7 Shapes worksheets for Year 7 Maths (Key Stage 3). Pupils aged 11–12 learn to recognise and describe 2D shapes, including triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and other polygons based on the number of sides.
Year 7 students also learn to identify and describe 3D shapes, including their faces, edges, and vertices. Some students also learn about nets, cross-sections, surface area, and volume of simple 3D shapes: For these worksheets see Year 8 Volume Worksheets.

Common Questions about Year 7 Shapes
What is a quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is a 2D shape with four sides, four vertices, and four angles. Examples include squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapeziums.What is the difference between 2D and 3D shapes?
2D shapes are flat and have length and width, while 3D shapes have length, width, and height.What properties do shapes have?
Shapes can have different numbers of sides, vertices, angles, faces, edges, and lines of symmetry.
Year 7 Shapes Common Mistakes
Common Mistake 1
Mixing up 2D and 3D shape properties, such as sides and faces.Common Mistake 2
Forgetting that all quadrilaterals have exactly four sides.Common Mistake 3
Miscounting vertices, edges or faces on 3D shapes.
