The Different Shape
In this geometry worksheet, learners identify and color the shape that is different in each row. There are ten different shapes shown on the sheet.
Curated OER
Trace the Different Shape
In this geometry worksheet, students trace the shape that is different in each row. There are a number of different shapes to identify on the sheet and then, color each one.
