Task:
The worksheet titled *"Let's See Those Angles!"* asks you to:
>
"How many angles are in the shapes below? Color the shapes based on the following code:"
####
Color Code:
- 3 angles →
red
- 4 angles →
blue
- 5 angles →
green
- 6 angles →
yellow
We need to:
1. Count the number of angles (corners) in each shape.
2. Color each shape according to the number of angles using the color code.

Step-by-step Analysis of Each Shape:
We’ll go through each shape one by one and count its angles.
1.
Triangle (top left)
- 3 sides → 3 angles
→
Red
2.
Trapezoid (top right)
- 4 sides → 4 angles
→
Blue
3.
Hexagon (middle left)
- 6 sides → 6 angles
→
Yellow
4.
Parallelogram (middle center)
- 4 sides → 4 angles
→
Blue
5.
Rectangle (middle right)
- 4 sides → 4 angles
→
Blue
6.
Square (bottom middle)
- 4 sides → 4 angles
→
Blue
7.
Pentagon (bottom left)
- 5 sides → 5 angles
→
Green
8.
Hexagon (center bottom)
- 6 sides → 6 angles
→
Yellow
9.
Right Triangle (bottom right)
- 3 sides → 3 angles
→
Red
10.
Small Square (bottom center-left)
- 4 sides → 4 angles
→
Blue
11.
Right Triangle (bottom center-right)
- 3 sides → 3 angles
→
Red
12.
Pentagon (bottom far right)
- 5 sides → 5 angles
→
Green

Final Instructions for Coloring:
-
Red: All triangles (3 angles)
-
Blue: All quadrilaterals (4 angles): trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, square
-
Green: Pentagons (5 angles)
-
Yellow: Hexagons (6 angles)
---
✔ Answer:
You should color:
-
Red: Triangles (3 shapes)
-
Blue: Quadrilaterals (5 shapes)
-
Green: Pentagons (2 shapes)
-
Yellow: Hexagons (2 shapes)
This activity helps students understand that the number of angles in a polygon equals the number of sides.
