Compare Shapes- Sides and Corners - Lesson for Kindergarten, Chapter - Shapes
In the "Compare Shapes- Sides and Corners" lesson designed for kindergarteners, students embark on an engaging journey into the world of early logic and geometry. This lesson, nestled within the Shapes chapter of the Early Logic and Geometry unit, aims to introduce young learners to the foundational concepts of plane geometry through hands-on, interactive activities.
Students will start with the "Plane Geometry: Sides Worksheet," where they will learn to recognize and count the sides of various shapes. This activity not only helps them understand different shapes but also lays the groundwork for mathematical thinking and spatial awareness. Following this, the "Finding Corners Worksheet" will guide students in identifying and counting the corners of shapes. This exercise is crucial for developing their observation skills and enhancing their understanding of geometric properties.
Furthermore, the "Shapes: Number of Sides and Location of Corners" activity will challenge students to apply their knowledge by comparing shapes based on the number of sides and the positioning of corners. This holistic approach reinforces their learning and fosters critical thinking skills.

Activity 1 / Plane Geometry: Sides Worksheet
It's never too early to learn about the properties of basic geometric shapes and figures. This free downloadable worksheet will let your children use familiar and colorful pictures to learn about sides, and how they are line segments that are used to form shapes. They'll learn each shape has a different number of sides, and this will give them the foundation for future identification of geometric properties and shape recognitions and identifications.

Activity 2 / Finding Corners Worksheet
This inviting worksheet uses bright colors and familiar shapes to teach your young mathematicians about the basic properties of geometric shapes. The downloadable PDF will offer them the opportunity to learn corners are where two line segments meet, and to identify corners on different shapes. This is an important skill for future geometric reasoning and identification, and they'll appreciate the vivid colors and boxes to label where a corner would go.
