Shape Explorers Worksheet

Elijah, Zoe, and Madison are checking the signs and course markers for a cycling race. Explore 2D shapes by counting sides and corners, spotting patterns, and building new shapes. A vertex is a corner; vertices is the plural.

Inspect the Shapes

Use the shape names and properties in each question to help you answer.

1.Which shape has 3 straight sides and 3 vertices?
  • Circle
  • Triangle
  • Rectangle
  • Hexagon
2.Elijah says a square has 4 equal sides. Is she correct?
3.Select every shape that has exactly 4 sides.
  • Triangle
  • Square
  • Rectangle
  • Circle
  • Pentagon
4.How many vertices does a hexagon have?

Plan the Race Route

A route map uses a repeating sequence of shape markers. Think about the shape names and their properties as you solve each clue.

5.The markers go triangle, circle, triangle, circle, triangle, . Which shape comes next?
6.Zoe needs a marker with no straight sides and no vertices. Which shape should she choose?
7.A square and a rectangle each have 4 sides. Give one way they are alike and one way they can be different.

Build and Explain

Use the drawing spaces to invent useful race markers. Your drawings can be simple shapes.

8.Draw a sign made from one square and one triangle. Make the shapes touch, then label each shape.
9.Madison joins 2 triangles along one full side to make a new shape. Draw one possible result and name the shape.
