Since I can't view or access uploaded images directly, I can't see the specific image you're referring to. However, based on your description of the worksheet titled
"Naming Polygons", I can help you solve and explain the problems typically found in such a worksheet.
Let me walk you through how to approach this kind of task:
---
🔹 Understanding the Worksheet
The worksheet is designed to teach students how to identify and name polygons based on the number of sides they have.
#### Key Definitions:
-
Triangle: 3 sides
-
Quadrilateral: 4 sides (e.g., rectangle, square, rhombus, trapezoid)
-
Pentagon: 5 sides
-
Hexagon: 6 sides
-
Octagon: 8 sides
> Note: The worksheet also mentions that
quadrilaterals can have different shapes — like rectangles, squares, parallelograms, trapezoids, etc.

🔹 Task 1: Circle the quadrilaterals
You are asked to
circle all shapes that are quadrilaterals (i.e., have
four sides).
✔ Look for any shape with
exactly four straight sides.
✘ Do not circle:
- Triangles (3 sides)
- Pentagons (5 sides)
- Hexagons (6 sides)
- Circles or ovals (not polygons)
👉 So, among the shapes shown, circle:
- Rectangle
- Square
- Rhombus
- Trapezoid
- Parallelogram
- Any other 4-sided figure
Even if it's slanted or irregular, as long as it has
four straight sides, it’s a quadrilateral.

🔹 Task 2: Write the names of each polygon in the box
Now, you must identify each shape and write its correct name.
Here’s how to do it:
| Shape | Name |
|------|------|
| 3 sides | Triangle |
| 4 sides | Quadrilateral (specific type: rectangle, square, rhombus, trapezoid, parallelogram) |
| 5 sides | Pentagon |
| 6 sides | Hexagon |
| 8 sides | Octagon |
> Remember: A
square is a special type of rectangle and rhombus. But when naming, use the most specific name possible.

✔ Example Walkthrough (Hypothetical Shapes):
Suppose the shapes are:
1. A 4-sided shape with opposite sides equal and parallel →
Parallelogram
2. A 5-sided shape →
Pentagon
3. A 4-sided shape with all sides equal and right angles →
Square
4. A 6-sided shape →
Hexagon
5. A 3-sided shape →
Triangle
6. A 4-sided shape with one pair of parallel sides →
Trapezoid
7. An 8-sided shape →
Octagon
So, fill in the boxes accordingly.

📝 Final Tips:
- Count the sides carefully.
- Use the chart at the top as a reference.
- Remember: All quadrilaterals have
four sides, but they can be different types.
- Not all quadrilaterals are rectangles or squares — look for side lengths and angles.

If you can describe the specific shapes in the image (e.g., "a diamond-shaped figure", "a six-sided figure", etc.), I can help you name them exactly!
Otherwise, just follow the steps above to complete the worksheet correctly.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of printable polygon shapes.
