To solve this worksheet, we need to find all the pictures that are shaped like an
oval.
Step 1: Understand what an oval is.
An oval looks like a circle that has been stretched out. It is round but longer than it is tall (or taller than it is long). It does not have any straight lines or sharp corners.
Step 2: Look at each picture one by one.
1.
Platter/Tray: This is round and stretched out. It is an
oval.
2.
Pizza Slice: This has straight sides and a point. It is a triangle sector, not an oval.
3.
Picture Frame: This has four straight sides and square corners. It is a rectangle, not an oval.
4.
Tennis Racket: The head of the racket is round but stretched out. It is an
oval.
5.
Microwave: This has straight sides and square corners. It is a rectangle, not an oval.
6.
Football: This is round on the ends but pointed in the middle. In shape worksheets, this is counted as an
oval.
7.
Door: This has straight sides. It is a rectangle, not an oval.
8.
Honeycomb/Bee: These are hexagons (six-sided shapes). They are not ovals.
9.
Watermelon: This is round and stretched out. It is an
oval.
10.
Mirror: The glass part is round and stretched out. It is an
oval.
11.
Kite: This has straight lines and points. It is a diamond/rhombus, not an oval.
12.
Sign with Arrow: This has straight lines and corners. It is a diamond/rhombus, not an oval.
Step 3: List the correct items.
The items that are ovals are:
* The platter/tray
* The tennis racket
* The football
* The watermelon
* The mirror
Final Answer:
You should color the following items:
1. The
platter (top left)
2. The
tennis racket (bottom middle-left)
3. The
football (center)
4. The
watermelon (center right)
5. The
mirror (bottom right)
