School Shapes Hunt Worksheet

Alex, Cooper and Charlie are helping at a school car wash fundraiser. Use the written shape clues to solve each question. A vertex is a corner.

Spot the shape properties

Use the written shape clues to answer.

1.The fundraiser sign has 4 straight sides and 4 right-angle corners. Its opposite sides are equal in length, and its adjacent sides are unequal in length. What shape is it?
2.A square sponge has four equal sides. How many vertices does it have?
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 6
3.Cooper says, “The round bucket lid is a circle, so it has one straight side.” Is Cooper correct? Explain using a property of a circle.
4.The bunting flag is a triangle. Complete the sentence: A triangle has sides and vertices.

Follow the shape trail

Use the number line to show how many sides each polygon has. A circle is not a polygon because it has no straight sides.

5.Mark 3 on the number line for the triangle and 4 for the square. Which shape has more sides, and how many more?
0123456
6.Alex draws a shape with 5 straight sides and 5 vertices for a new sign. What is this shape called?
  • Triangle
  • Rectangle

9.Charlie wants to decorate the sign with a shape that has no vertices. Name a suitable shape and explain why it fits.
