This unit provides a comprehensive overview of what a 2D shape is and how to identify a 2D shape based on how many sides and corners each shape has. The unit provides you with a presentation with visual examples and questions to practise the skill as well as worksheets and an assessment to test learnt knowledge and understanding.
