Let's solve the
"Recognising 2-D Shapes Worksheet" step by step.
We are asked to:
1.
Name each 2-D shape.
2. Write the
number of sides each shape has.
---
🔹 Shape 1: Square
-
Name: Square
-
Number of sides: 4
*(A square has four equal straight sides and four right angles.)*
---
🔹 Shape 2: Triangle
-
Name: Triangle
-
Number of sides: 3
*(A triangle has three straight sides and three angles.)*
---
🔹 Shape 3: Circle
-
Name: Circle
-
Number of sides: 0
*(A circle is a curved shape with no straight edges or corners, so it has no sides.)*
---
🔹 Shape 4: Rectangle
-
Name: Rectangle
-
Number of sides: 4
*(A rectangle has four straight sides, with opposite sides equal and all angles right angles.)*
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
Square – 4 sides
2.
Triangle – 3 sides
3.
Circle – 0 sides
4.
Rectangle – 4 sides

📝
Note: While some might argue that a circle has "one curved side," in primary education (especially for early geometry), it is typically taught that a
circle has 0 sides because sides are defined as straight line segments.

✔ So, fill in the worksheet like this:
```
[Square]
Name: Square
Number of sides: 4
[Triangle]
Name: Triangle
Number of sides: 3
[Circle]
Name: Circle
Number of sides: 0
[Rectangle]
Name: Rectangle
Number of sides: 4
```
