Shapes Matching Activity

 

This worksheet is designed to introduce and reinforce the recognition of basic geometric shapes through real-life object associations. It supports early learners in building foundational geometry knowledge by identifying shapes and connecting them with familiar items. This is particularly useful for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary students.

 

Objective:

Students will:

  • Identify and name basic geometric shapes: triangle, rectangle, circle, and square.
  • Match each shape with a real-world object that has the same shape.
  • Develop visual recognition skills, shape vocabulary, and critical thinking.

 

Instructions:

  • On the left side, there are four basic shapes:

    1. Triangle (red)
    2. Rectangle (yellow)
    3. Circle (green)
    4. Square (blue)
  • On the right side, there are four real-world images:

    1. A pizza (round shape)
    2. A chessboard (square shape)
    3. A warning sign (triangle shape)
    4. A smartphone (rectangular shape)
  •  
  • Students are instructed to match each shape on the left with the corresponding object on the right. This can be done by drawing lines.

 

Example:

  1. CirclePizza

    • The pizza is circular in shape.

 

Skills Developed:

  • Shape recognition: Identify and name common geometric shapes.
  • Real-world application: Understand how shapes appear in everyday life.
  • Vocabulary enhancement: Learn and use shape-related terminology.
  • Fine motor skills: Practice drawing lines or interacting with digital tools.
  • Cognitive skills: Strengthen observation and logical matching abilities.

 

Educational Use:

  • Can be used in classroom settings, homeschooling, or online learning platforms.
  • Suitable for individual practice, group activities, or teacher-led instruction.
  • Can serve as an assessment tool for understanding shape recognition.
  • Useful as a warm-up activity, part of a geometry lesson, or during math centers.

The Borobudur Temple

Borobudur is a Buddhist temple built by the Syallendra Dynasty in the 9th century. It is located at Magelang, Central Java. The temple is famous all around the world. For hundreds of years, it had been buried under volcanic ash and vegetation, until its discovery in the 1800s.

Influenced by Indian Gupta architecture, Borobudur Temple stands on a hill-like construction with eight stone terraces. The first five are square, surrounded by walls with Buddhist reliefs. The upper three are round. Each of these terraces has bell-shaped stupas.

A large stupa crowns the entire edifice at the centre of the top circle. Passages and stairways stretch out 4.8 km to the peak. Borobudur Temple's architecture is similar to that of the temples at Angkor, Cambodia. They form mountain-like structures that symbolise the structure of the universe.

Borobudur Temple, rededicated as a national monument in 1983, is a treasure for the nation.
