Where Are the Shapes? Position Worksheet

Kindergarten Math

English Shape Recognition Logic & Puzzles 5 years old

Where Are the Shapes? is a kindergarten math worksheet for shape recognition and position words. A child looks at one six-shape board, then writes the shape that is left of or right of a named shape.

Five-year-olds often know shape names out loud, then stall when the question adds left and right. Practice with one steady board helps a child slow down, compare nearby shapes, and connect words like rectangle, triangle, oval, square, and hexagon to real positions.

Sit next to your child and point to the triangle, square, rectangle, or hexagon named in each prompt. Ask, “Which shape is on that side?” Then let your child say the answer before writing rectangle, oval, triangle, or oval again in the field.

The worksheet uses the same six-shape board for every question, so the thinking stays focused on location instead of hunting across a busy page. Clear models and writing fields make the page easy for a short, screen-free math moment at home or in a classroom.
