Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
The goal is to
trace the numbers on the left and then
circle the set of shapes that has an equal number of shapes as the number on the left. Then,
color the correct set.
We are given four rows, each with a number on the left and two sets of shapes on the right. We need to determine which set in each row has the same number of shapes as the number shown.
---
Row 1: Number = 5
- First set: 5 circles (● ● ● ● ●) →
5 shapes
- Second set: 6 circles arranged in a circle (like a flower) →
6 shapes
✔ The first set has
5 shapes, matching the number.
👉
Circle the first set (left one)
---
Row 2: Number = 9
- First set: 3x3 grid of squares → 3×3 =
9 squares
- Second set: Two rectangles (one 2×2 and one 3×1), but let’s count:
- Top rectangle: 4 squares
- Bottom rectangle: 5 squares? Wait — actually, it looks like:
- Left block: 4 squares (2×2)
- Right block: 5 squares? No — wait, look carefully:
Actually, the second set appears to be:
- A 2×2 square (4 squares)
- A 3×1 rectangle (3 squares) → total = 4 + 3 =
7 squares
Wait — no! Let's count again.
Looking closely:
- First set: 3 rows × 3 columns =
9 squares
- Second set:
- One 2×2 block = 4 squares
- One 3×1 block = 3 squares
- But they are separate — total = 4 + 3 =
7 squares
So:
- First set:
9 squares
- Second set:
7 squares
✔ The first set matches the number 9.
👉
Circle the first set (left one)

Row 3: Number = 6
- First set: Triangle made of smaller triangles
- It's a large triangle made of 6 small triangles.
- Row 1: 1 triangle
- Row 2: 2 triangles
- Row 3: 3 triangles
- Total = 1+2+3 =
6 triangles
- Second set: 5 small triangles arranged in a V shape →
5 triangles
✔ First set has
6 triangles, matches the number.
👉
Circle the first set (left one)
---
Row 4: Number = 3
- First set: 4 pentagons (they look like 5-sided shapes) →
4 shapes
- Second set: 3 pentagons →
3 shapes
✔ Second set has
3 shapes, matches the number.
👉
Circle the second set (right one)

Final Answer Summary:
| Number | Correct Set to Circle |
|--------|------------------------|
| 5 | First (left) |
| 9 | First (left) |
| 6 | First (left) |
| 3 | Second (right) |

Instructions for Student:
1. Trace the numbers: 5, 9, 6, 3
2. For each row:
- Count the shapes in both sets
- Circle the set that has the same number as the number on the left
- Color that set
✔ So,
circle the left set for 5, 9, and 6, and
circle the right set for 3.
