5th Grade Shapes Worksheets
Our 5th grade shapes worksheets help students master shape classification through three different problem types. Students practice identifying shapes by their physical properties, evaluating true/false statements about shape characteristics, and selecting shapes based on given descriptions.
About these worksheets
These worksheets cover shape identification across multiple levels. Students name basic 2D shapes by their sides and corners, identify quadrilaterals, recognize regular and irregular polygons from triangles through decagons, classify right triangles, identify solid 3D figures, determine which shapes combine to form a figure, and classify triangles by angles and side lengths. Resources span first through fourth grade and beyond.
About these worksheets
Students explore the attributes and properties of both 2D and 3D shapes. Activities include counting faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes, determining whether given measurements can form a triangle, identifying cross-sections of sliced 3D shapes, drawing different perspectives of solids, classifying shapes by properties, evaluating true-or-false statements about shapes, and filling in attribute tables. Resources span fifth through seventh grade.
Classifying Shapes
- Identify and name common shapes by looking at their sides, corners, and angles.
- Sort shapes into groups based on shared properties, like how many sides they have or whether sides are parallel.
- Tell the difference between types of quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, kite) by checking their features.
Classifying Shapes True or False
- Decide whether a statement about a shape is true or false by looking at its sides, angles, and vertices.
Classifying Shapes (Multiple Choice)
- Use clues about sides, angles, and corners to name the shape being described.
- Tell the difference between common quadrilaterals like rectangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids, and kites.
- Sort shapes into the right groups using rules like parallel sides, equal sides, and right angles.
