It practises describing what two shapes share — 6 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.G.B.4: Compare shapes and describe how they are alike and different. The instruction to pupils is “How many sides does each shape have?”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.4 — K.G.B.4, in the Geometry domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts, and other attributes.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Compare Two Shapes is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.G.B.4, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
