This worksheet, titled
“MATCH THE SHAPE SHEET 3”, asks students to
shade the shape in each row that matches the first shape (on the left). The matching is based on
shape type and orientation, not color or size.
Let’s go row by row and identify the correct match:
---
Row 1:
- First shape:
Circle (filled blue)
- Options: Square, Oval,
Circle, Triangle
✔ Correct match:
Third shape — Circle
> *Note: Although the first circle is filled and the matching one is outlined, the instruction is to match the “shape,” so we ignore fill/color and focus on geometry.*
---
Row 2:
- First shape:
Square (filled blue)
- Options: Rectangle, Right triangle, Hexagon,
Square
✔ Correct match:
Fourth shape — Square
---
Row 3:
- First shape:
Hexagon (filled blue)
- Options:
Hexagon, Square, Cross, Pentagon
✔ Correct match:
First shape — Hexagon
---
Row 4:
- First shape:
Triangle (filled blue, equilateral, pointing up)
- Options: Trapezoid,
Triangle (equilateral, pointing up), L-shape, Right triangle
✔ Correct match:
Second shape — Triangle (same orientation and type)
---
Row 5:
- First shape:
Right triangle (filled blue, right angle at bottom left, hypotenuse top-right)
- Options: L-shape, Equilateral triangle,
Right triangle (same orientation), Pentagon
✔ Correct match:
Third shape — Right triangle
---
Row 6:
- First shape:
Oval (filled blue, horizontal)
- Options: Pac-Man shape, Circle, Hexagon,
Oval (horizontal)
✔ Correct match:
Fourth shape — Oval
---
Row 7:
- First shape:
Rectangle (filled blue, vertical)
- Options: Cross,
Rectangle (vertical), Square, Trapezoid
✔ Correct match:
Second shape — Rectangle
> *Note: A square is a special rectangle, but here the first shape is clearly a non-square rectangle (taller than wide), so we match it with the same proportions — the second option.*

✔ Final Answer (Shade these shapes):
| Row | Position to Shade |
|-----|-------------------|
| 1 | 3rd shape |
| 2 | 4th shape |
| 3 | 1st shape |
| 4 | 2nd shape |
| 5 | 3rd shape |
| 6 | 4th shape |
| 7 | 2nd shape |

## 🎯 Summary:
You are matching
geometric shapes by
type and orientation, ignoring color/fill. This exercise helps build visual discrimination and shape recognition skills for early learners.
