Comparing and Sorting Shapes - Worksheet
Maths Resource Description
Designed for educational purposes, a worksheet on comparing and sorting shapes encourages students to interact with various everyday objects by cutting them out and categorising them into appropriate groups. This hands-on activity is aimed at enhancing the recognition and understanding of different shapes by visually sorting them based on their characteristics. It's a practical exercise that not only reinforces the students' ability to identify shapes but also improves their fine motor skills through the use of scissors and glue.
The worksheet also includes a task where students are asked to colour the shape that doesn't belong in a specified group. This segment of the worksheet is divided into categories such as triangles, four-sided shapes, two-dimensional shapes, and three-dimensional shapes. By engaging in this activity, students develop critical thinking skills as they analyse each group and determine which shape is the outlier. This task serves to deepen their knowledge of geometric concepts and the properties that distinguish different shapes, both in two dimensions and three dimensions.
