Put It in the Box

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a cut-and-paste activity centered around geometric shapes and their names. There are two main sections: on the left, there is a list of shape names such as circle, square, triangle, oval, hexagon, octagon, pentagon, and rectangle. On the right, there are blank boxes aligned with each shape name where students are expected to paste the correct shape. At the bottom, there are colored shapes provided, which students are supposed to cut out and match to the correct name by pasting them in the appropriate box.

The worksheet is designed to teach students to identify and match shapes with their corresponding names. It enhances their understanding of geometry by associating visual shapes with their textual descriptors. The cutting and pasting aspect of the activity develops fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Additionally, this task encourages cognitive skills such as problem-solving and recognition, as students determine which shape goes with which name.
