Zero To Five

Worksheet Description

The “Counting Corners and Sides” worksheet is a thoughtfully designed educational resource tailored for preschool children to enhance their recognition and understanding of basic geometric shapes. On this worksheet, children are invited to engage in an exploratory learning experience where they examine six distinct geometric figures labeled from (a) to (f), including a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, and a circle. Each shape is clearly outlined, allowing for easy identification and analysis by young learners.

In each designated space next to the shapes, children are prompted to write the number of sides and corners that each figure has, encouraging them to count and record their findings. This exercise is crucial for developing early math skills, particularly in geometry, where understanding the properties of shapes is foundational. The worksheet also includes a “How Did You Do?” section at the bottom, with smiley face emoticons ranging from happy to sad, giving children a chance to reflect on their performance and express their feelings about the task. This reflective element is not only engaging but also aids in developing emotional awareness and self-evaluation skills in preschoolers.
