KS1 Mathematics: Geometry — Properties of Shape — Quick Burst
Fast, self-marking KS1 geometry warm-up: naming 2-D and 3-D shapes, counting sides, vertices and faces. Ten minutes, five rounds, print or play.
KS1 Mathematics: Geometry — Properties of Shape — Quick Burst is a fast-paced, fully auto-marked activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Years 1 and 2. Five short rounds race through naming common 2-D shapes (rectangles, squares, circles and triangles), naming common 3-D shapes (cuboids, cubes, pyramids, spheres, cones and cylinders), counting sides and vertices, counting faces, edges and vertices, and matching everyday objects to 3-D shapes while spotting 2-D shapes hiding on their surfaces. With around twenty quick questions and a full worked answer key, it is ideal as a warm-up, a fluency check, or five minutes of focused practice between longer lessons.

Five fast rounds to test how quickly you can name shapes and their properties — 2-D shapes, 3-D shapes, sides and vertices, faces and edges, and shapes on real objects. Try to answer from memory rather than working everything out. Answer on screen and I’ll check it, or print the book and race through on paper.
This is a quick, self-marking KS1 geometry warm-up covering naming 2-D and 3-D shapes, counting sides, vertices, faces and edges, and spotting shapes in everyday objects. It is designed to take about ten minutes — perfect for a short daily practice session or a fluency check before homework or a test.
A fast, fully auto-marked fluency book for DfE KS1 geometry: naming common 2-D and 3-D shapes (Year 1), and counting sides, vertices, faces and edges plus identifying 2-D shapes on the surface of 3-D shapes (Year 2). All twenty questions are closed and auto-marked, ideal as a starter, plenary or fluency check.
Every round is checked together with the "Check my answers" button, which marks each response and gives instant feedback. Most answers are a single word (a shape name) or a number — compare against the answer sheet for the full worked results.
