This worksheet, titled
"Spin a Shape Friend," is designed to help students learn and identify the
attributes of 2D shapes, such as their names, number of sides, and angles. The activity involves spinning a spinner (which contains various 2D shapes) and then identifying and filling in information about each shape that comes up.
Let’s go through how to solve this worksheet step by step.
---
🔹 Instructions Summary:
- Spin the spinner.
- Find the matching shape on the page.
- Color the shape.
- Write the shape's:
-
Name
-
Number of Sides
-
Number of Angles
Repeat until all shapes are filled in.

🔹 Shapes on the Worksheet & Their Attributes
Here are the
7 different 2D shapes shown on the worksheet, along with their correct attributes:
| Shape | Name | Sides | Angles |
|-------|------|-------|--------|
| 🟨 Diamond (Rhombus) | Rhombus | 4 | 4 |
| 🟦 Octagon | Octagon | 8 | 8 |
| 🟩 Circle | Circle | 0 | 0 |
| 🟪 Trapezoid | Trapezoid | 4 | 4 |
| 🟥 Triangle | Triangle | 3 | 3 |
| 🟫 Hexagon | Hexagon | 6 | 6 |
| Rectangle | Rectangle | 4 | 4 |
>
✔ Note:
> - A
circle has
no sides or angles because it is curved.
> - All
polygons (shapes with straight sides) have the
same number of sides and angles.
> - The
diamond is actually a
rhombus, which is a type of quadrilateral with 4 equal sides and 4 angles.
