Shapes and Sides Worksheet Generator
Each item shows one flat shape and asks for its name or its number of sides. Naming and counting are separate skills, so the sheets mix both instead of drilling one label.

What this sheet practices
Each item shows one flat shape and asks for its name or its number of sides. Naming and counting are separate skills, so the sheets mix both instead of drilling one label.
Errors worth watching for
- Calling a square a rectangle (it is both, but at this age the specific name comes first).
- Counting a corner twice when the shape is rotated.
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.
- Choose how many questions and how many fit on a page. Ten per page is the most readable default.
- Print, or save as PDF. Replace any single question with the circular arrow if it does not fit your group.

Should we teach 'vertices'?
After the child can count corners reliably. Use 'sides' and 'corners' first.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
