Count the Sides! 10 Puzzles for Future Geometers

Is your child ready to become a true shape expert? It’s time to look beyond just the names and start exploring what makes each shape special!

Introducing “Count the Sides!”—a 10-page packet designed to build a deep understanding of geometry in a simple, engaging way. On each page, students are presented with a large, clear shape and a crucial question: “How Many Sides?” Their mission is to count the sides and circle the correct number from three choices. They’ll tackle everything from triangles and squares to hexagons and even the tricky circle (zero sides)!

This packet helps students:

Build Foundational Geometry Skills: Moves them from simply naming shapes to analyzing their properties.

Reinforce Counting & Number Recognition: Integrates number skills into a fun, visual context.

Boost Critical Thinking: Encourages students to look closely and think analytically about what they see.

This no-prep resource is the perfect, effective, and fun activity for your math centers or geometry unit.
