Geometric Shapes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Connect geometric shapes to your learners' lives with this worksheet. In order to complete this worksheet, young scholars must discover examples of triangles, squares, and circles at school, at home, and outdoors and list them on a chart. They are asked to find at least 3 examples for each situation, but they can always find more! Learners determine which shape appears most often in the real world. This could be used a homework assignment or as a lead-up to a project about geometric shapes.</
