Let's solve the problem step by step.

Task:


Count the number of each shape in the image and write the numbers below the corresponding shape.

The shapes to count are:
- Triangles (△)
- Squares (□)
- Rectangles (▭)
- Circles (○)

---

Step 1: Count the Triangles (△)



Look at all the triangular shapes:
- There is a large triangle on the left.
- A medium-sized triangle near the top center.
- A small triangle near the center-right.
- A very large triangle on the bottom right.
- Another triangle near the bottom left.

Let’s list them:

1. Large triangle (left side)
2. Medium triangle (top center)
3. Small triangle (center-right)
4. Very large triangle (bottom right)
5. Triangle on the bottom left

Total triangles = 5

---

Step 2: Count the Squares (□)



Squares have four equal sides and four right angles.

Look for squares:
- Top left: one square
- Middle left: one square
- Center: one large square
- Below center: one small square
- Right side: one square

Let’s check carefully:

1. Top-left square
2. Left-middle square
3. Center large square
4. Small square near bottom center
5. Square on the right side (next to rectangle)

Are there any more?

Wait — some rectangles might be mistaken, but we only count squares (equal sides).

Yes, that’s 5 squares.

Total squares = 5

---

Step 3: Count the Rectangles (▭)



Rectangles have four sides with opposite sides equal, but not necessarily all equal (so not squares).

We must exclude squares, because squares are a type of rectangle, but in these worksheets, they're usually counted separately.

So, look for rectangles that are not squares.

List of rectangles:

1. Top right: long rectangle
2. Middle right: vertical rectangle
3. Bottom middle: horizontal rectangle
4. Bottom left: horizontal rectangle
5. Near bottom center: horizontal rectangle
6. Middle right: another horizontal rectangle

Let’s go through:

- Top right: one long rectangle
- Middle right: one tall rectangle
- Bottom left: one rectangle
- Bottom center: one rectangle
- Middle: one short rectangle
- One more? Let’s see...

Wait — there are six rectangles that are clearly longer than they are wide (not squares).

Let’s count:

1. Top right →
2. Middle right (vertical) →
3. Bottom left →
4. Bottom center →
5. Middle right (horizontal) →
6. One near the top center? No — that’s a square.

Wait — actually, let's re-check:

- Top right: rectangle
- Middle right (tall): rectangle
- Bottom left: rectangle
- Bottom center: rectangle
- Middle right (short horizontal): rectangle
- One more?

There’s a rectangle above the big circle on the right? No — it’s a square.

Wait — what about the one next to the small circle? Yes:

- One rectangle between the two small circles? No — it's a square.

Let’s count carefully:

1. Top right: rectangle
2. Middle right (vertical): rectangle
3. Bottom left: rectangle
4. Bottom center: rectangle
5. Middle right (small horizontal): rectangle
6. One more? Look at the bottom right — no.

Wait — actually, there’s five rectangles that are not squares.

Let me recount:

- Top right:
- Middle right (vertical):
- Bottom left:
- Bottom center:
- One just below the center square? No — it’s a rectangle? Wait — no, it's a square.

Wait — actually, let’s list all rectangles:

- Top right: rectangle
- Middle right (vertical): rectangle
- Bottom left: rectangle
- Bottom center: rectangle
- One above the bottom center circle? No — that’s a square.

Wait — there’s a rectangle above the small circle on the right? No — it’s a square.

Wait — perhaps I missed one.

Actually, let’s go back.

Looking at the image:

- Top right: long rectangle
- Middle right: vertical rectangle
- Bottom left: rectangle
- Bottom center: rectangle
- One more: the rectangle just above the bottom center circle? No — that’s a square.

Wait — there is a rectangle between the two small circles on the right? No — it’s a square.

Wait — perhaps there are only 5 rectangles?

Wait — let’s list:

1. Top right rectangle
2. Middle right vertical rectangle
3. Bottom left rectangle
4. Bottom center rectangle
5. Rectangle below the big circle? No — it's a rectangle? Yes — wait, it's the one under the big circle on the left? No — it's a rectangle.

Wait — the one under the big circle on the left is a rectangle

But we already counted it?

No — let's map:

- Top right: rectangle
- Middle right: vertical rectangle
- Bottom left: rectangle
- Bottom center: rectangle
- One more? The one just below the big square? No — it’s a rectangle? No — it’s a square.

Wait — there’s a rectangle on the far right, below the small circle — yes, it's a rectangle.

Wait — actually, let’s count all rectangles:

1. Top right → rectangle
2. Middle right (vertical) → rectangle
3. Bottom left → rectangle
4. Bottom center → rectangle
5. Middle right (horizontal) → rectangle
6. One more? The one on the far right, below the small circle — yes, it’s a rectangle

Wait — is that a rectangle?

Yes — it's a rectangle.

So total rectangles:

1. Top right
2. Middle right vertical
3. Bottom left
4. Bottom center
5. Middle right horizontal
6. Far right bottom

That’s 6 rectangles.

But wait — is the one on the far right bottom a rectangle? Yes.

And is it not a square? It’s wider than tall — yes.

So total rectangles = 6

Total rectangles = 6

---

Step 4: Count the Circles (○)



Now, count all circles.

Look for round shapes.

1. Top center: large circle
2. Left middle: small circle
3. Right side: small circle
4. Bottom center: small circle
5. Right side: large circle
6. Bottom left: small circle

Wait — let’s list:

- Top center: large circle
- Left middle: small circle
- Right side: small circle
- Bottom center: small circle
- Right side: large circle
- Bottom left: small circle

Is there more?

Wait — there’s a circle on the far right? Yes — one large circle.

And one small circle near the top right.

Wait — let’s go:

1. Top center: large circle
2. Left middle: small circle
3. Top right: small circle
4. Bottom center: small circle
5. Right side: large circle
6. Bottom left: small circle

Wait — that’s 6 circles.

But let’s double-check:

- Top center: 1
- Left middle: 1
- Top right: 1
- Bottom center: 1
- Right side: 1
- Bottom left: 1

Yes — 6 circles.

Total circles = 6

Final Counts:



- Triangles: 5
- Squares: 5
- Rectangles: 6
- Circles: 6

---

Answer to Fill In:



Below the shapes, write:

- Triangle: 5
- Square: 5
- Rectangle: 6
- Circle: 6

---

Final Answer:



```
Triangle: 5
Square: 5
Rectangle: 6
Circle: 6
```

You can now fill these numbers into the blanks on the worksheet.
