Curious Shapes

Worksheet Description

This engaging worksheet is designed to introduce preschoolers to basic geometry by counting corners and sides of different shapes. Titled “Counting Corners and Sides,” the activity features a series of shapes—triangle, square, rectangle, trapezoid, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. Each shape is clearly labeled and accompanied by two blank spaces where students are prompted to write the number of sides and corners for each geometric figure. The worksheet is interactive and educational, with cartoon eyes added to each shape to create a playful look that appeals to young learners.

The second part of the worksheet includes a self-assessment section at the bottom where children can express how they feel about the activity by circling a happy, neutral, or sad face. This not only makes learning about shapes fun but also encourages self-reflection on the learning process. By completing this exercise, preschoolers develop their counting skills, learn to recognize various shapes, and begin to understand the properties that define each shape, such as the number of sides and corners. The simple and clear design ensures that children can concentrate on the task without being overwhelmed by too much information.
