Plane shapes worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve this step by step by carefully analyzing the image and counting each plane shape (flat 2D shapes) present.

We are to count:
- Rectangles
- Circles
- Triangles
- Squares

🔍 Step-by-step Shape Identification:

#### ✔ 1. Rectangles
A rectangle has four sides with opposite sides equal and all angles 90°.

Look for:
- The yellow house body → 1 rectangle
- The red roof base (under the triangle) → but that’s part of the triangle, not a separate rectangle
- The blue truck bed → 1 rectangle
- The red cab of the truck → 1 rectangle
- The yellow car body → 1 rectangle
- The white window on the yellow car → 1 rectangle
- The black door on the house → 1 rectangle
- The window on the house → 1 rectangle (white)
- The red barrier below the striped bar → 1 rectangle
- The striped bar (black and yellow) → 1 rectangle
- The bench → 2 rectangles (seat and legs)
- The tree trunk → 1 rectangle
- The road lines (dashed white lines) → these are not solid rectangles, so we don’t count them
- The boat hull → 1 rectangle (the yellow bottom part)

Wait: Let's list only distinct solid rectangles.

Let’s go through again:

1. House wall → 1
2. Truck bed → 1
3. Truck cab → 1
4. Car body → 1
5. Car window → 1
6. House door → 1
7. House window → 1
8. Red barrier → 1
9. Striped bar → 1
10. Bench seat → 1
11. Bench legs → 2 small rectangles (but usually counted as one bench structure — but if they’re separate, count both)
- But typically in such problems, each individual rectangle is counted.
- So two legs = 2 rectangles
12. Tree trunk → 1
13. Boat hull → 1

Now let’s tally:

- House: 1 (wall), 1 (door), 1 (window) → 3
- Truck: 1 (bed), 1 (cab) → 2
- Car: 1 (body), 1 (window) → 2
- Barrier: 1 (red base), 1 (striped bar) → 2
- Bench: 1 (seat), 2 (legs) → 3
- Tree trunk: 1
- Boat hull: 1

Total rectangles:
3 (house) + 2 (truck) + 2 (car) + 2 (barrier) + 3 (bench) + 1 (trunk) + 1 (boat) = 14

But wait — double-checking the bench: it has a long blue seat (rectangle) and two short legs (rectangles). So yes, 3 rectangles.

✔ Rectangles: 14

#### ✔ 2. Circles

A circle is round with no corners.

Look for:
- Wheels:
- Blue truck: 2 black wheels
- Yellow car: 2 black wheels
- Total: 4 wheels → 4 circles
- Balloons: 5 balloons (red, green, blue, yellow, yellow) → 5 circles
- Yellow sign on pole → 1 circle
- Basketball near the house → 1 circle (orange with lines, but still circular)
- Any others?

No more obvious circles.

So:
- 4 wheels
- 5 balloons
- 1 sign
- 1 basketball

Total: 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 11

✔ Circles: 11

#### ✔ 3. Triangles

A triangle has three straight sides.

Look for:
- House roof → red triangle → 1
- Tree → green tree is a triangle → 1
- Boat sail → red triangle → 1
- Car roof → red triangle on top of car → 1
- Mountain peaks → two brown triangles in background → 2
- Truck cabin roof → small red triangle? Wait — the truck cab is square with a flat top, no triangle
- Car windows → white window is rectangle, not triangle
- Striped barrier → no triangle
- Any other?

So:
- House roof → 1
- Tree → 1
- Boat sail → 1
- Car roof → 1
- Mountains → 2

Total: 1+1+1+1+2 = 6

✔ Triangles: 6

#### ✔ 4. Squares

A square has four equal sides and right angles.

Look for:
- House window → white square → 1
- Truck cab → red cab appears to be a square → 1
- Car window → white rectangle? No — it's a rectangle, not square (longer than wide)
- Bench → no squares
- Boat → yellow part is rectangle, not square
- Balloon strings → no
- Basketball → circle, not square
- Sign → circle
- Road lines → not squares

Only two possible squares:
1. House window → white square → ✔
2. Truck cab → red box → looks like a square → ✔

Is there any other?

Check the small red box on the truck — it’s clearly a square.

What about the yellow house? It's a rectangle, not square.

The car body is longer — rectangle.

So only:
- House window → 1
- Truck cab → 1

Wait — what about the small red square on the truck? That’s the same as the cab.

Yes, only two.

But let’s double-check:
- Is the house window a perfect square? Yes, it looks like one.
- Is the truck cab a square? Yes, it’s a small red square.

No others.

✔ Squares: 2
