Counting Squares

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a focused counting exercise that instructs students to count all the squares by their color. The worksheet features a collection of shapes in different colors, including squares, triangles, and circles. Below the array of shapes, there is a prompt for the student to record the number of squares counted, with separate blanks for squares of different colors. A self-evaluation section titled “How Did You Do?” with three emoticon faces allows students to assess their feelings about their performance after completing the task.

This worksheet aims to enhance the students’ skills in recognizing and distinguishing squares from other shapes, while also paying attention to the attribute of color. It challenges the student’s counting abilities and promotes accuracy in recognizing color-specific geometric shapes. The task also helps to develop early mathematical concepts, such as classification and sorting by attributes. The inclusion of a self-assessment section supports the development of emotional intelligence by encouraging students to reflect on and express their satisfaction with their work.
