Explanation:
We need to check which shapes have all of their sides correctly shown with arrows.

Let’s go one shape at a time and count how many sides each shape has, then see if the arrows point to every side, and only to sides (not corners or inside).

1. Pink rectangle
- A rectangle has 4 sides.
- Arrows: left, right, top, bottom → 4 arrows, one on each side. Correct.

2. Green triangle
- A triangle has 3 sides.
- Arrows: one on top vertex (pointing down), and two on lower corners (pointing inward diagonally).
But wait — arrows should be *along the sides*, not toward vertices. The arrows here are pointing *to* the corners, not *along* the sides. Also, there are 3 arrows, but they’re placed at the vertices, not mid-side. In standard teaching for this type of worksheet, arrows must be placed on the sides, usually near the middle of each side, pointing outward or along the side. Here, the arrows are at the corners — that’s incorrect. Not correct.

3. Purple square
- Square = 4 sides.
- Arrows: top-left corner (diagonal), top-right corner (down), bottom-left (right), bottom-right (up) — all pointing *toward* corners, not along sides. Again, arrows should be on the sides, not at corners. So even though there are 4 arrows, they’re misplaced. Incorrect.

4. Teal pentagon
- Pentagon = 5 sides.
- Arrows: 5 arrows, each pointing from outside toward each corner (one per vertex). Same issue — arrows should be on the sides, not at vertices. In early math worksheets like this, arrows are expected to be centered on each side, showing direction *along* the side. These are at corners → Incorrect.

5. Yellow diamond (rhombus)
- Rhombus = 4 sides.
- Arrows: 4 arrows, one on each side, pointing outward from the middle of each side. Yes! Each arrow is on a side, not at a corner. Correct.

6. Blue triangle (bottom right)
- Triangle = 3 sides.
- Arrows: one on top vertex (down), one on bottom-left (up-right), one on bottom-right (up-left). Again, arrows at corners, not on sides. Incorrect.

Wait — let’s double-check the pink rectangle and yellow diamond more carefully.

In many such worksheets (especially from Kids Academy), the convention is:
- Arrows should be placed on the sides, typically pointing outward perpendicular to the side, or sometimes along the side.
- If an arrow points *to a corner*, it's considered wrong because a corner is where two sides meet — the arrow should represent a single side.

Looking again:
- Pink rectangle: arrows are clearly on each of the 4 sides (left, right, top, bottom), pointing outward. ✔️
- Yellow diamond: arrows are on each of the 4 sides (top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-left edges), pointing outward. ✔️

All others have arrows at vertices, not on sides.

So only 2 shapes are correct: the pink rectangle and the yellow diamond.

Final Answer:
The pink rectangle and the yellow diamond.
