What this worksheet teaches

• Sort shapes by one property, such as number of sides or having curves.
• Name circles, squares, rectangles and triangles regardless of how they are turned on the page.
• Count the sides and corners of a flat shape accurately.
• Tell flat shapes from solid ones - a circle from a ball, a square from a box.

How to use this worksheet

Finish with a shape hunt in one room: a clock circle, a door rectangle, a roof triangle. That two-minute walk makes the whole sheet stick better than repeating it.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Identify the shape: ● = ______

Frequently asked questions

Should my child know 3D shape names now?

Recognising a ball, box and can shape is plenty at Grade 1. Formal names like sphere and cuboid usually arrive in Grade 2.

Is a square a rectangle?

Technically yes, but Grade 1 keeps them separate to avoid confusion. If your child spots it themselves, that is worth praising rather than correcting.

My child mixes up sides and corners. What helps?

Trace the sides with a finger and tap the corners. Different physical actions for the two words keeps them apart better than repeating the definitions.
