Questions about What Shape Do They Make?

What does the What Shape Do They Make? worksheet cover?

It practices predicting the bigger shape that pattern blocks or squares make — 5 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.G.B.6: Put small shapes together to build bigger ones. The instruction to students is “Sort each one into the right box”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does What Shape Do They Make? practice?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.6 — K.G.B.6, under Geometry for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

What Shape Do They Make? is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.G.B.6, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does What Shape Do They Make? come with an answer key?

Yes. All 5 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.

How many different versions of What Shape Do They Make? can I print?

25 — one per student, 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.
