Challenging sort and count worksheets with four shapes

What is on this worksheet

A crowded box has four kinds of shape, with up to 10 of each, so students need a careful method to count them all.

• Kinds of shapes: 4
• Most of one kind: 10

You can change any of these settings above. Press "New problems" for a fresh set with the same settings, or pick Version A to Z to print different sheets for neighboring desks. The answer key always matches.

About sort and count shapes

A box holds a mixed group of shapes. Students sort them by kind in their heads, count each kind and write the number in the box beside its picture, then write how many shapes there are altogether.

Use two kinds and small numbers for the youngest children, or four kinds and larger numbers for a challenge. The shapes differ in outline, so the black and white edition works just as well as the Color edition.
