Geometry Practice

Grade 4 • 2D Shape Properties • Name the shape from its clues
Name:Date:

Read each clue and write which flat shape it describes.

  1. 1) A shape has no straight sides, and every point on its edge is the same distance from its centre. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 2) A shape has 4 straight sides and 2 pairs of equal sides that sit next to each other, and none of its sides are parallel. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 3) A shape has 3 straight sides and each of its angles measures 60°. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 4) A shape has 3 straight sides and exactly 2 of them are equal. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 5) A shape has 5 equal straight sides and 5 equal angles. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 6) A shape has 3 straight sides and one of its angles is a right angle. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 7) A shape has 4 straight sides that are all the same length, and every one of its angles measures 90°. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 8) A shape has 2 long sides and 2 short sides, and all 4 of its angles are right angles. What is its name?
    Answer:
  1. 9) A shape has 3 equal straight sides and 3 equal angles. What is its name?
    Answer:

Frequently asked questions

▸What is the difference between area and perimeter?

Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape and is measured in units such as cm. Area is how much surface the shape covers and is measured in square units such as cm². For a rectangle, perimeter is 2 × (length + width) and area is length × width.

▸How do you find the area of a rectangle in Grade 4?

Multiply the length by the width. A rectangle 8 cm long and 5 cm wide has an area of 8 × 5 = 40 cm². Area of Rectangles opens with small measurements so the focus stays on the idea, and its Larger measurements level raises them once the method is secure.

▸What are acute, right and obtuse angles?

An acute angle is smaller than 90°, a right angle is exactly 90°, and an obtuse angle is between 90° and 180°. Naming Angles draws the angle and asks which kind it is — unnumbered at the first two levels, so the judgement is made against the 90° benchmark by eye, before a protractor is ever picked up.

▸Can I print a Grade 4 geometry sheet without the answers?

Yes. Leave the answer key box unticked and the sheet prints as questions only. Tick it and the answers appear on their own page at the end, so you can hand out the questions and keep the key.
