About this resource
Description
Sorting shapes is one of the first geometry skills a young learner meets, and it builds the vocabulary every later math lesson leans on. When a child looks at a circle, a square and a triangle and decides which group each one belongs in, they are learning to notice sides, corners and curves instead of colors or sizes. This Sorting Shapes Worksheet gives kindergarten students a calm, colorful way to practice that thinking, with big, clear shapes drawn at several different sizes so children learn that a shape stays the same shape no matter how large or small it happens to be.
This kindergarten geometry worksheet is a printable activity that takes about ten minutes to finish. Part A gives students a color key, red for circles, blue for squares and green for triangles, along with eight shapes to color. Part B asks them to count each group and write the total in an answer box. Print one copy per child, read the key together, and let students color at their own pace. The included answer key makes checking fast, whether you are working with one child, a small group or the whole class.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 8 color-and-sort shapes plus 3 counting problems
Three things make this Sorting Shapes Worksheet work well in a kindergarten classroom. First, coloring by category turns sorting into something a child can see: when the page is finished every circle is red and every square is blue, so a mistake is easy to spot and easy to fix. Second, counting the finished groups links geometry to number sense, which is exactly what the Kindergarten standards ask for. Third, the shapes appear in several sizes and are scattered across the page, so students practice naming a shape by its attributes rather than by how big it looks or where it sits.
There are plenty of easy ways to keep the practice going after the page is done. Go on a shape hunt around the room and tally how many circles, squares and triangles your class can find. Roll out play dough and let children form each shape with their hands, the way the clay shapes on the page were made. Build squares and triangles from craft sticks, sort a bin of blocks onto three labeled paper plates, or ask students to draw a picture using only these three shapes and then count how many of each one they used.
