Three Choices

Worksheet Description

The worksheet titled “How Many Sides?” is a captivating educational tool for preschoolers that aims to teach them about different geometric shapes and their attributes. The worksheet is divided into four sections, each featuring a distinct geometric shape, namely a diamond, a pentagon, a hexagon, and a star. Below each shape, there are three numbers from which the children must choose the correct count of sides for the given shape.

The activity is straightforward and interactive: children are asked to count the sides of each shape and encircle the appropriate number. For the diamond, the options are 2, 5, and 4; for the pentagon, 6, 5, and 4; for the hexagon, 9, 8, and 6; and for the star, 8, 10, and 6. This exercise not only aids in teaching shape recognition and numerical counting but also develops critical thinking as children determine the differences between various shapes. The bottom of the worksheet contains a self-evaluation section with smiley faces under “How Did You Do?”, allowing children to assess their own performance and encouraging a positive learning environment. This interactive approach facilitates a hands-on learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable for young students.
