Worksheets by Difficulty

Start with Easy worksheets to build confidence, then progress to Medium and Hard as your student masters each level.

Tips for Parents & Teachers

1

Point out shapes in architecture, nature, and everyday objects. "The window is a rectangle. The stop sign is an octagon."

2

Compare 2D and 3D: "A square is flat, but a box is like a square that has depth — it is called a cube."

3

Build with blocks and describe what you build using shape vocabulary.

4

For shape patterns, have your child create their own patterns with stickers or stamps — creating patterns is harder and more valuable than just reading them.
