Where Are the Shapes? Position Worksheet

1st Grade Math

English Shape Recognition Logic & Puzzles 7+ years old

Where Are the Shapes? is a one-page Grade 1 math worksheet that practices shape recognition with position clues. The printable page shows one shared six-shape board, and each question asks a child to identify a shape that is right of or below another shape.

At age seven, many children can name a circle, rectangle, square, triangle, hexagon, or oval when the shape stands alone. Kids often stall when the task adds a direction word, so the worksheet gives practice with looking carefully before writing an answer.

Sit beside your child and read one prompt at a time. Ask your child to point to the reference shape first, such as the triangle, hexagon, circle, or square, then have your child trace the direction with a finger and write oval, oval, rectangle, or triangle in the matching field.

Because all four questions use the same board, the worksheet keeps attention on careful looking instead of hunting through new pictures. The clear models and writing fields make the page useful for short parent-child practice, small groups, or a quick math center.
