Shape hunt: squares

What your child practises

Recognising and naming shapes, noticing sides and corners, and spotting shapes in everyday things.

What’s included

• 8 shapes to find
• An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
• An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 4–8. That’s Pre-K – Grade 3 in the US, Reception – Year 4 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 3 in India.

How to use it

• Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
• Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
• Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
• Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

1. 1Keep counters or dried beans next to the sheet so your child can build and check each answer.
2. 2Stop while it is still fun: five focused minutes beat twenty tired ones, and the rest can wait for tomorrow.
3. 3Ask your child to teach you one thing from the sheet; explaining is a great test of understanding.
