About this worksheet

Shape recognition grows more rigorous in first grade. Children move from naming familiar examples to identifying defining attributes: number of sides, number of corners, straight edges, and whether a figure is closed. A triangle is still a triangle when it is tilted, and a rectangle remains a rectangle when it is long and narrow. This worksheet asks children to count sides and corners, choose a shape from its attributes, and pick the true statement about a shape.

Support pages use triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles. Standard and challenge pages include trapezoids, pentagons, and hexagons without expecting advanced vocabulary beyond visible attributes. Ask children to touch each side once, then each corner once, before choosing a name or description with evidence.

What your child will learn

  • Count sides and corners
  • Name shapes from their sides and corners
  • Pick the true statement about a shape
  • Know that a circle has no corners

Common Core standard: 1.G.A.1

Worked example

A closed shape with three straight sides and three corners is a triangle.

Common mistake

Rejecting a tilted square because it does not look like the usual classroom example.

Helpful hint

Count sides and corners instead of relying on how the shape is turned.
