Twelve shape cards to cut out and sort into three groups: shapes with 3 sides, shapes with 4 sides, and round shapes with no corners. The triangles are all different, long and thin or turned upside down, and the 4-sided group mixes squares, rectangles, a rhombus and a trapezoid, so children sort by counting sides, not by how a shape looks at first glance. Glue four cards in each column. Page 2 shows every card in its place.

Tips for this shapes worksheet
- Cut out all twelve cards first.
- Count the sides of each card before you decide.
- Lay the cards in the columns before gluing, then check with page 2.
Page 2 of the PDF is the answer key. For first shapes, the shape flash cards have the name and sides on the back. When this sheet feels easy, move on to the sides and corners worksheet and the 3D shapes coloring page. See all shapes worksheets.
