60+ SHAPES WORKSHEETS

SHAPES WORKSHEETS

These worksheets help to learn the basic shapes; they include exercises on tracing, drawing, naming and identifying 2D shapes, recognizing the difference between 2D and 3D shapes, and comparing shapes to real life objects.

·         Basic 2d Shapes

Trace, color and write the name of the basic 2D shapes (circles, squares, triangles, ...) in these kindergarten worksheets.

·         Recognizing Basic Shapes

These kindergarten worksheets give children practice in recognizing the basic 2D shapes.

·         Drawing Shapes

The matching of the pictures emphasizes the comprehension part of the exercise - an important step beyond simply sounding out the words in the sentence.

·         Identifying Shapes

Children first are asked to trace a shape (e.g. circle), then draw it, then find all the circles in an array of different shapes.  Separate worksheets for circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, ovals and diamonds.

·         Similar Shapes

Children match similar shapes (e.g. between two squares). Shapes considered are circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, ovals and diamonds.

·         Names Of Shapes

These worksheets review the names of 2D shapes. 

·         Patterns Of Shapes

Children predict the next shape in the pattern shown.  They are encouraged to say out loud the name of each shape in the pattern, as we are trying to help them instantly recognize the common shapes.

·         2D vs 3D Shapes

These worksheets compare 2D and 3D shapes. Children classify shapes as being either 2-dimensional ("flat") or 3-dimensional. Students do not have to know the names of the shapes; the emphasis is on understanding the difference between shapes with 2 and 3 dimensions.

·         Tangram Puzzles

Tangram puzzles combine simple geometric shapes to create drawings. They are asked to identify, count and color different types of shapes in each tangram. A fun way to get extra practice in shape recognition.

·         Mirror Images

Children complete pictures of simple objects by drawing mirror images through a line of symmetry. A grid is provided.
