This set of 12 community helpers pattern block mats and task cards will support your learners as they learn to identify, sort, flip, rotate and turn 2D shapes. This will be ideal to add to your community helpers or careers unit or for a fun 2D shapes activity.

How challenging is it?
There are three levels of difficulty so you can tailor the activities to your learners:

• full-size colour and ink saver version for practising matching
