What does the Sort Shapes by Sides worksheet cover?
It practises classifying shapes by side count — 5 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.G.A.1: Name shapes you see and say where things are — above, below, next to. The instruction to pupils is “Sort each one into the right box”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.1 — K.G.A.1, in the Geometry domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

Does Sort Shapes by Sides come with an answer key?

How many different versions of Sort Shapes by Sides can I print?
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.
