About this resource
Description
Counting the sides of a shape is a fun way for young learners to practice counting with one-to-one correspondence while they learn about shapes. This Side Counting Worksheet helps kindergarten students count each straight side of a shape, then show how many with both a numeral and a number word from six to ten. Children trace each side with a finger as they count, so every side is counted once and only once.
At the top of the page, a number chart shows the numerals 6 to 10 with their number words. Below it, five shape cards show a hexagon, a seven-sided shape, an octagon, a nine-sided shape and a star. Students count the sides on each shape, write the number in the box, and copy the number word on the line. The shapes are large, bright and clearly outlined, so each side is easy to see. Use this side counting worksheet for morning work, a math center, small group practice or homework.
What’s Included
- A 6 to 10 number chart with numerals and number words
- Five large shape cards with 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 sides
- An answer box for each numeral and a writing line for each number word
- A full answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, counting sides builds careful one-to-one counting, because children must keep track of where they started. Second, writing both the numeral and the number word connects the number a child says with the ways it is written. Third, looking closely at sides gives an early start on describing shapes, a key kindergarten geometry skill.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the page, have children walk a finger along the edge of a book or a table and count its sides out loud. Give students a crayon to put a small tick on each side as they count it, so no side is missed or counted twice. For extra practice, draw a new shape on a whiteboard and let your child count its sides. This kindergarten counting sides worksheet pairs well with a unit on counting to 10 and learning 2-D shapes.
