Geometry Worksheets for Kids

Importance of Learning Geometry

Almost everyone uses geometry daily, even if they have never opened a geometry book. Geometry is around us, and we face it every single day.

Our geometry worksheets introduce children to various forms, angles, symmetry, lines, slopes, areas, perimeters, and volumes, among other concepts. Because the topic is so broad, kids need the correct kind of fun and interactive geometry worksheets can help them learn and understand the concepts rather than confusing them. These printable worksheets have the added benefit of allowing kids to apply these principles to real-life situations.

SplashLearn offers a number of geometry worksheets for all grades, such as "Shapes in Everyday Life" and "Shapes in our Surroundings." 

• Shapes in Everyday Life
  In this worksheet offered by SplashLearn, kids come across various shapes which they come across in everyday life, such as a ball or a pen, and they have to identify them. This worksheet helps build up your child's math skills in geometry as kids have to solve several problems related to geometry. 
• Shapes in Our Surroundings
  There are various shapes in our surroundings, such as circles, squares, ovals, rectangles, etc. Through the help of this worksheet, kids get to identify and differentiate between various shapes mentioned. This worksheet helps your child gain a better understanding of the concept of geometry and apply it in their day-to-day life. 
• Sort Shapes
  Through this worksheet, you can help your child become an expert in geometry. The worksheet encourages your child to use their knowledge of geometry to identify quadrilaterals. Your child will better understand geometry and shapes and will enjoy time working with this worksheet. 

Can We Teach Geometry in a Fun Way?

We know how difficult it is to make kids learn something, but at the same time, it's important for their future. Geometry appears to be in a separate league when it comes to math. Some kids fall in love with it right away, while others find it difficult. One of the best things about geometry is that you can present your children with so many interactive, hands-on online activities, making it a lot of fun!

Begin with Shapes

The best way to start teaching geometry is with shapes that your kids have known since they were small, such as circles, squares, and triangles, drawn on whiteboards. After that, you can draw more complex forms of polygons. This leads to an educational discussion about polygons between you and your child, and you can classify shapes that way.

Incorporate Some Kinesthetic Learning into the Curriculum

Kids require mobility, and kinesthetic activities make it simple to provide that. In one activity, children can be on the floor with a partner, using their bodies to create different types of lines (parallel, intersecting, and perpendicular), forms, and angles (right, acute, and obtuse). Another option is to have the children stand up and draw these geometric concepts with their arms.

Help Your Child Learn Geometry

Instead of remembering formulae and definitions and calculating areas, perimeters, and other calculations, the key to helping your child learn geometry is to stress geometrical concepts and provide lots of hands-on activities, such as sketching figures and working with manipulatives.

As a parent, you know how difficult it gets to make kids learn math, but it is important for their future as well, so you need to just choose the best for them. With SplashLearn's downloadable geometry worksheets and online activities that make studying hands-on, your kids will find geometry to be fun. Any adult can become an instructor by following the easy-to-follow directions in each of our interactive learning activities.
