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. 1Count real things first – spoons, socks, toy cars – then move to the pictures, so numbers stay meaningful.
2. 2Ask “How do you know?” about one answer. Explaining a method builds understanding faster than speed.
3. 3Ask your child to teach you one thing from the sheet; explaining is a great test of understanding.
