Let’s look at the shapes in the pumpkin face and match them to the shapes shown at the bottom.
Step 1: Look at the pumpkin’s eyes.
- One eye is a circle with a smaller black circle inside — that matches the first shape at the bottom (a circle with a dot).
- The other eye is just a gray circle — but we’re matching the *shapes* used, not the colors or details. So both eyes are based on circles.
But wait — the task says “Name the shapes.” And below the pumpkin, there are four shapes drawn:
1. A circle with a small black circle inside (like an eye)
2. A triangle
3. A rectangle (tall one)
4. A square
Now let’s find where each of these appears in the pumpkin:
- The
circle with black dot → That’s the right eye of the pumpkin.
- The
triangle → That’s the nose of the pumpkin.
- The
rectangle → That’s the stem on top AND the patch on the bottom of the pumpkin. (Same shape, two places!)
- The
square → Hmm… do we see a square? Actually, no — the mouth is curved, the cheeks aren’t squares, the mice don’t have squares... Wait! Maybe the instruction is just asking us to name the shapes shown at the bottom — not necessarily find them all in the pumpkin? Let me re-read.
Actually, looking again: the worksheet says “Name the shapes.” and then shows those four shapes under a dashed line. It doesn’t say “find them in the pumpkin” — it might just be asking you to name each of those four shapes.
That makes more sense for a kindergarten/early elementary level.
So let’s name each shape from left to right:
1. First shape: Circle (with a dot inside — but the main shape is still a circle)
2. Second shape: Triangle
3. Third shape: Rectangle (it’s taller than it is wide)
4. Fourth shape: Square (all sides equal)
Wait — but in the pumpkin, the stem and bottom patch are rectangles, the nose is a triangle, the eyes are circles. There’s no actual square in the pumpkin drawing. So maybe the “Name the shapes” part is separate — just naming the four shapes shown below.
Yes — that must be it. The pumpkin uses some of those shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle), but the square is included as a basic shape to identify too.
So final answer: Name each shape from left to right.
Final Answer:
Circle, Triangle, Rectangle, Square
