Most sides
for 5th grade
For each pair of shapes, identify which one has the greater number of sides
Which shape has more sides?
Regular 2D geometric shapes apart from the ovals have a certain number of sides that are part of their definitions. You can easily count the number of sides a certain shape has. Remember that all quadrilaterals have 4 sides.
Square: A square has four sides of equal length.
Rectangle: A rectangle has two pairs of opposite sides of equal length.
Triangle: All triangles have 3 sides.
Kite: A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides of equal length.
Rhombus: A rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 sides of equal length.
Trapezoid: a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.
Pentagon, etc: A pentagon has 5 sides, a hexagon has 6, a septagon has 7, an octagon has 8 sides and a nonagon has 9 sides.
In this topic you are given diagrams of pairs of shapes and must decide which of the shapes has more sides. The shapes include square, rectangle, other quadrialaterals (kite, rhombus, trapezoid, etc.), various types of triangle, pentagon, heptagon, etc.
