Digital Shape Hunt Worksheet

Jai, Oliver and Ivy are checking shapes around a bike repair shop. Use the written clues to identify 2D shapes and their properties. A vertex is a corner; a side is a straight edge.

Spot and describe

Use these written clues: a bicycle wheel has a circular outline, the bicycle frame forms a triangle, the toolbox front is a rectangle, a floor tile is a square, and a bolt is a hexagon. Answer the questions using the clues.

1.Which shape best describes the outline of one bicycle wheel?

Circle
Triangle
Rectangle
Hexagon

2.The bicycle frame forms a triangle. How many straight sides and vertices does a triangle have?

3.The toolbox front is a rectangle. Choose the true description.

It has 4 straight sides and 4 vertices.
It has 3 straight sides and 3 vertices.
It has no straight sides.
It has 6 straight sides and 6 vertices.

4.True or false: A square floor tile has four equal sides and four vertices.

TrueFalse

5.Oliver spots a hexagonal bolt. How many sides does a hexagon have?

Sort the clues

Use shape properties to solve each clue. Remember, a polygon is a closed shape made only of straight sides.

6.Jai finds a closed shape with 4 straight sides. What family of shapes could it belong to?

7.Which shape does not belong with the others, and why: triangle, rectangle, hexagon, circle?

8.Fill in the blank: A shape with 5 straight sides is called a .

9.Match each shape to the number of vertices it has.

Triangle
Rectangle
Hexagon

10.Ivy finds two different quadrilaterals among the clues: the square floor tile and the rectangular toolbox front. Name them and explain one way their shapes are alike.

11.Imagine you are adding one new sign to the bike shop. Describe a polygon for the sign by giving its name, number of sides and number of vertices.
