This grade 1 shapes worksheet gives 23 problems on 2d and 3d shapes, ordered from easy to hard, with a separate answer key.
These 23 problems practice 2D and 3D shapes. Students name shapes, count sides and corners, decide which attributes are defining, and put shapes together to make new shapes (1.G.A.1 and 1.G.A.2).
The first problems are about naming and counting. The last six are short word problems with shapes and solids.
