Description
Learning to see and draw rectangles is one of the very first geometry skills a young child masters. This Drawing Rectangles Worksheet gives Kindergarten students a clear, hands-on way to learn what makes a rectangle a rectangle: four straight sides, four square corners, two long sides and two short sides. When children trace a shape before they draw it, they build the fine motor control and the visual memory they need to reproduce it on their own, and they begin to notice that a rectangle can be wide, tall, big, or small and still be a rectangle.
This kindergarten geometry worksheet moves children through three short steps on a single page. In Part A they trace three dashed rectangles of different sizes and orientations. In Part B they draw a rectangle of their own inside each of two large, open boxes. In Part C they look at four everyday pictures — a book, a ball, an egg, and a window — and circle the ones shaped like a rectangle. Read the directions aloud, work through Part A together, then let students finish the page on their own while you check with the included answer key.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 3 rectangles to trace, 2 draw-your-own boxes, and 4 real-world picture items
There are three reasons this Drawing Rectangles Worksheet helps children learn the skill so quickly. First, tracing comes before drawing, so a child feels the length of each side and the turn of each corner before being asked to produce the shape from memory. Second, the rectangles vary in size and direction, which stops children from memorizing one fixed picture instead of the real rule about sides and corners. Third, the picture section moves the skill out of the shape world and into the real world, where a book and a window are rectangles a child can point to at home. Together those three steps carry a Kindergarten student from recognizing a rectangle to producing one to finding one.
Away from the page, go on a rectangle hunt around the classroom or the house and count how many rectangles you can find in five minutes — doors, books, tables, screens, and windows all count. Build rectangles with craft sticks or pipe cleaners so children can feel that two sides are long and two are short. Draw rectangles in a tray of sand or shaving cream, or trace them in the air with a big arm motion before picking up a pencil. Sing a shape song together, and ask children to say the shape name out loud each time they draw one.
