Notes
The previous pages in this document give 24 pairs of cards. One card in each pair shows a 2D
or 3D shape and its name. The other card describes some of its properties. The first 15 pairs
involve 2D shapes and the other 9 pairs involve 3D shapes. The last 3 pairs are shapes that
are included in the intermediate level FSMQ, but not in the foundation level FSMQs. If you
use the Word version of this activity you can adapt the cards or delete those cards that you do
not wish to use before printing.
Learners can work individually or in pairs or groups – you will need to copy and laminate a
set of cards for each learner or group of learners. Ask students to match the pairs of cards.
