Let’s go through each shape one by one and name it correctly.

First, look at the top left:
It’s a flat shape with 4 equal sides and 4 right angles → that’s a square.

Next to it (top right):
It’s round, no corners, perfectly curved all around → that’s an oval (sometimes called an ellipse, but for this level, “oval” is fine).

Second row, left:
Round, no corners, same distance from center everywhere → that’s a circle.

Second row, right:
Looks like a can — two flat circles on top and bottom, connected by a curved side → that’s a cylinder.

Third row, left:
Four sides, opposite sides equal, four right angles → that’s a rectangle.

Third row, right:
Six straight sides, all equal → that’s a hexagon.

Fourth row, left:
Three straight sides → that’s a triangle.

Fourth row, right:
Looks like a box with square faces — it’s 3D, has length, width, height → that’s a cube.

Fifth row, left:
Five straight sides → that’s a pentagon.

Fifth row, right:
Four equal sides, tilted so it looks like a diamond → that’s a rhombus (or sometimes called a diamond shape, but in math, we say rhombus).

Now let’s list them in order as they appear on the worksheet:

Left column (top to bottom):
1. Square
2. Circle
3. Rectangle
4. Triangle
5. Pentagon

Right column (top to bottom):
1. Oval
2. Cylinder
3. Hexagon
4. Cube
5. Rhombus

Final Answer:
Square, Oval, Circle, Cylinder, Rectangle, Hexagon, Triangle, Cube, Pentagon, Rhombus
