There is a longer-term goal behind teaching this. Students trace the numbers, sides (represented by lines) and the corners (represented by dots). This helps them identify the attributes we're teaching - the corners/vertices and types of sides. It has dots for students to color and traceable lines.

It has traceable parts because students are still learning how to write their numbers in the early fall when I'm covering this concept. This little booklet was created to give students a way to "show" their math thinking when they aren't at the point of writing words yet. I'm trying to lay a solid foundation that will eventually carry them into 3D shapes.
This pattern helps young students see that all shapes can be described using words like "corners" or "sides." But it also helps them see that all shapes differ in the numbers of each attribute.
Let me share why it works, how I used it and how to make it for your classroom. Here is a free printable booklet to describe the attributes of 2D shapes for kindergarten. Introduce how to describe 2D shapes by simply using dots and lines.
