Identifying the Name of Shapes Worksheet

Ten visual prompts ask learners to supply a shape name rather than select from a word bank. The collection includes both two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional solids, so students must attend to whether a picture represents a flat outline or an object with depth. Some forms may accept more than one familiar name. Page two labels the pictured figures for reference after learners have named them independently.
