Count Them

Worksheet Description

This worksheet, aptly named “Counting Corners and Sides,” is designed to help preschoolers learn about shapes through an interactive and straightforward exercise. The sheet presents two basic geometric figures, a triangle and a square, each drawn with bold lines to clearly define their edges. Below each shape are labeled blanks for “Sides” and “Corners,” inviting the child to count and record the number of each feature. This task helps children develop their observation and counting skills, as they learn to distinguish between the sides and corners of different shapes.

At the bottom of the page, there’s a section titled “How Did You Do?” with three faces representing different emotions – happy, neutral, and sad. This self-assessment tool encourages children to reflect on their learning experience, promoting emotional intelligence and self-awareness from a young age. The worksheet’s simple layout ensures focus and clarity, making it an excellent resource for early childhood educators to introduce the foundational concepts of geometry in a way that is both engaging and educationally effective.
