Answer Key & Explanations

Shape Positions · Kindergarten · Worksheet 1

  1. Isabella has a red circle and a blue square. She puts the red circle above the blue square on her desk. Which shape is on the bottom? Answer: blue square Solution: The word 'above' tells us the position of one object compared to another. When something is above, it is higher up. The object that is not above is below, or lower down.
  2. Charlotte draws a blue star above a red circle. Then she draws a green triangle beside the red circle. Which shape is next to the red circle? Answer: green triangle Solution: Read the story carefully. Charlotte draws three shapes: a blue star above a red circle, and a green triangle beside the red circle. Step 2: The question asks which shape is next to the red circle.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Read the story carefully. Charlotte draws three shapes: a blue star above a red circle, and a green triangle beside the red circle. Step 2: The question asks which shape is next to the red circle. Step 3: The story says the green triangle is beside the red circle, so the green triangle is next to the red circle. The answer is the green triangle.

  3. Tane has a blue circle and a red square on his mat. The red square is beside the blue circle. Where is the blue circle? Answer: beside the red square Solution: Position words like 'beside' describe where one thing is in relation to another. If the red square is beside the blue circle, then the blue circle is also beside the red square.
  4. Emma has a red circle. She puts a blue triangle above the red circle. Where is the blue triangle? Answer: above the red circle Solution: Emma has a red circle. Step 2: She places a blue triangle in a position that is higher than the red circle. Step 3: The word for a position that is higher than something is 'above'.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Emma has a red circle. Step 2: She places a blue triangle in a position that is higher than the red circle. Step 3: The word for a position that is higher than something is 'above'. The blue triangle is above the red circle.

  5. Mason puts his toy car beside the blue square. Where is the toy car? Answer: beside the blue square Solution: Read the sentence carefully. Mason puts his toy car beside the blue square. Step 2: The word 'beside' tells us the position of the toy car.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Read the sentence carefully. Mason puts his toy car beside the blue square. Step 2: The word 'beside' tells us the position of the toy car. Step 3: So, the toy car is beside the blue square. The answer is 'beside the blue square'.

  6. Mason draws a red circle on his paper. Then he draws a blue square above the circle. Where is the blue square? Answer: above the circle Solution: Read the problem carefully. Mason draws a red circle first. Then he draws a blue square above the circle.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Read the problem carefully. Mason draws a red circle first. Then he draws a blue square above the circle. Step 2: 'Above' means higher up or on top. If the square is above the circle, it is placed higher on the paper than the circle. Step 3: The question asks: 'Where is the blue square?' The problem tells us it is above the circle. The answer is: above the circle.

  7. Isabella draws a red circle. Then she draws a blue square beside the circle. Where is the blue square? Answer: beside the circle Solution: Isabella draws a red circle. She draws a blue square next to the circle. 'Beside' means next to.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: Isabella draws a red circle. Step 2: She draws a blue square next to the circle. Step 3: 'Beside' means next to. Step 4: The blue square is beside the red circle. The answer is: beside the circle.

  8. Sophia puts a green triangle above a red square. Where is the red square? Answer: below the green triangle Solution: The problem says Sophia puts the green triangle above the red square. If the triangle is above, then the square is on the opposite side. The opposite of above is below.
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The problem says Sophia puts the green triangle above the red square. Step 2: If the triangle is above, then the square is on the opposite side. Step 3: The opposite of above is below. Step 4: So, the red square is below the green triangle. The answer is: below the green triangle.

  9. Tane puts a star above the square. Kaia puts a circle below the square. Which shape is beside the star? Answer: No shape is beside the star Solution: Position words like 'above' and 'below' tell us where things are compared to other things. 'Beside' means next to something.
  10. Sophia has a yellow star and a blue triangle on her desk. The yellow star is above the blue triangle. Which shape is below the yellow star? Answer: blue triangle Solution: Position words like 'above' and 'below' tell us where things are in space. If one shape is above another, the one that is above is higher, and the one that is below is lower.
