Shape Workshop: Count Sides and Corners
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: counting sides and corners on common 2D shapes
1
Trace and count the sides of a triangle.
2
Touch and count the corners of a square.
3
Write how many sides a rectangle has.
4
Circle the shape with no corners: circle or triangle.
5
Turn a square drawing sideways. Does its side count change?
6
Show an adult one shape and explain how you counted its corners.
- Invite the child to trace one complete edge before moving to the next.
- Use 'corner' and 'vertex' only if the child is ready; the counting action matters most.
- Rotate a shape after counting to show that orientation does not change its properties.
