Squares
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dark dot on the top-left corner and go across the top first, then down the right side, back along the bottom and up the left side to close.
- Trace the dashed square in the same order.
- Draw squares on your own to the end of the row, each sitting on the bottom line with a small gap before the next one.
What this worksheet teaches
A square checks two things at once: whether your child can stop cleanly at every corner, and whether all four sides come out the same length. Many children at 6–8 still draw tall or wide rectangles when they mean squares, and a row of eight to twelve of them makes that easy to see. Starting at the top left and moving across first is also the order in which we read and write, so the habit carries over to letters such as E and F.
Variation to try
Dice squares: in the last row, add one to six dots inside the squares to make dice faces, then ask your child to read each die aloud and add up two neighbors.
