Let’s solve this step by step.
We have four shapes on the left:
1. Circle
2. Rectangle
3. Triangle
4. Square
And we have eight objects at the bottom that we need to match to these shapes based on what they look like.
---
Step 1: Match each object to its shape
Look at each object and ask: “What basic shape does this look like?”
-
Blue die (with dots) → It’s a square! All sides are equal, and it has 4 corners.
-
Soccer ball → It’s round — so it’s a circle!
-
Pizza slice → It’s pointy at the top and wide at the bottom — that’s a triangle!
-
Party hat → Also pointy at the top, wider at the bottom — triangle!
-
Story Book → The cover is rectangular — longer than it is tall.
-
Green bus → Long and flat — rectangle!
-
Gift box → Looks like a square from the front — all sides equal.
-
Beach ball → Round — circle!

Step 2: Group them by shape
Now let’s put each object under the correct shape:
✔ Circle: Soccer ball, Beach ball
✔ Rectangle: Story Book, Green bus
✔ Triangle: Pizza slice, Party hat
✔ Square: Blue die, Gift box
---
Step 3: Double-check
Make sure every object is used once and matches the right shape.
- Circle: 2 objects ✔️
- Rectangle: 2 objects ✔️
- Triangle: 2 objects ✔️
- Square: 2 objects ✔️
Total = 8 objects — perfect!

Final Answer:
Color each shape on the left. Then cut out the objects and paste them in the correct row:
-
Circle row: Paste the soccer ball and beach ball.
-
Rectangle row: Paste the story book and green bus.
-
Triangle row: Paste the pizza slice and party hat.
-
Square row: Paste the blue die and gift box.
