More and Less Shapes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the concept of counting geometric shapes and understanding simple addition and subtraction by one. It features several rows, each with a different geometric shape: circles, squares, triangles, and hexagons. Students are instructed to count the number of shapes in each row and then draw one additional shape in the column marked “Draw one more” and one fewer shape in the column marked “Draw one less.”

The purpose of this worksheet is to reinforce students’ counting abilities while introducing them to the foundational mathematical operations of adding and subtracting one from a given number. It helps students to visualize and comprehend the incremental changes in quantity. This activity also supports the development of fine motor skills through drawing shapes, and it encourages students to recognize and differentiate between various geometric figures.
