Color the right number of shapes

About this worksheet

Each card shows a numeral and a group of empty shapes. Children color exactly as many shapes as the numeral says, starting at the top left. It connects the written number to a quantity, which is the other direction from counting a group.

Choose the largest number (3 to 20) and the shape. The groups are laid out in rows of five so each one can be checked at a glance. Every sheet has a solved example and an answer key that shows the colored shapes.
