There are several kinds of shapes you will learn in elementary school; this pagewill provide you with the names and examples of each one.CircleA round shape, drawn like this:TriangleA shape with three sides. Sometimes the sides are equal—sometimes they aren’t. Theirnames are sometimes different depending on the length of the sides. We will showyou the common ones:Equilateral triangle—this triangle has 3 equal sides.Isosceles triangle—this triangle has 2 equal sides.Scalene triangle—this triangle has no equal sides.SquareA box shape, with four equal sides—opposite sides are parallel, drawn like this:Parallel means non-intersecting.

For example, parallel lines means that if the twolines kept going forever, they would never cross over each other—they would alwaysbe an equal distance apart.RectangleAnother box shape, with two sets of equal sides. Equal sides are opposite each other.The sides are parallel to each other. It’s drawn like this:TrapezoidAnother 4 sided shape, with one set of parallel lines (the other set of lines isnot parallel), drawn like this:PentagonA shape with five sides. They can be drawn many different ways, but these are themost common:The pentagon on the left is known as a regular pentagon, because all of its sidesare the same length. The one on the right is also a commonly known pentagon, shapedlike a house.HexagonA shape with six sides, drawn like this:HeptagonA shape with seven sides, drawn like this:OctagonA shape with eight sides, drawn like this:You’ll notice that the octagon is the shape they use for stop signs.NonagonA shape with nine sides, drawn like this:DecagonA shape with 10 sides, drawn like this:DodecagonA shape with 12 sides, drawn like this:PolygonsAll of these shapes are polygons. A polygon is a shape made of lines that couldbe colored in (all the lines meet and it has a “middle”).Most of what you will be asked to do with these shapes is recognize them and drawthem, so memorize how many sides they have, what they look like, etc.
Here is the anchor chart I made with my kindergarten class after we did the 3-D Shape movement activity here: 3-D Shape Problem Solving.You can see some of the language my kids used when discussing whether or not 3D shapes could roll, slide or stack and how it relates to the attributes of those shapes.
Other thingsmay include calculating the area and/or perimeter of these shapes. If you’re tryingto find area or perimeter, read our page on.
