Counting Shapes

Different shapes are mixed together in a row.
You count how often each shape appears.

Here's how:
1. Pick a shape, for example the triangle.
2. Go through the row from left to right and count only this shape.
3. Write the number in the box and move on to the next shape.

The number filled in shows the solution.

Example

= 3= 1

For parents

What does this exercise practice?

Confidently recognize and name basic geometric shapes and count them systematically.

Common pitfalls

Children jump back and forth in the row while counting and count shapes twice. Tapping through the row with a finger helps.

How to practice at home

On a walk, look for shapes, for example round signs and square windows, and count which kind there are more of.
