How many sides
for 3rd grade
Identify the number of sides that each of these named 2-dimensional shapes have
How many sides do different shapes have?
Regular named 2D shapes have a set number of sides which is part of their definition. In this topic you are asked to identify how many sides each named shape has (circles and ovals are not thought of as having sides).
Quadrilaterals: All quadrilaterals have 4 sides - that is how a quadrilateral is defined. The quadrilaterals include the square, rectangle, kite, rhombus and trapezoid.
Triangles: All triangles have 3 sides.
More than 4 sides: pentagon, hexagon, etc. A pentagon has 5 sides, a hexagon has 6, a septagon has 7 and an octagon has 8 sides.
In this topic you are shown a series of diagrams of regular 2D shapes. You must give the number of sides for each shape.
