Naming shapes by sides

  • Circle — no straight sides at all.
  • Triangle — 3 sides.
  • Square — 4 equal sides, 4 right angles.
  • Rectangle — 4 right angles, opposite sides equal.
  • Pentagon — 5 sides.
  • Hexagon — 6 sides.

Watch out

Shapes can be the same colour and very different sizes — but the name only depends on how many straight sides they have, and whether those sides are equal. Don't sort by colour or size!
