Set a can on a sheet of paper, trace around its base, and lift it away. A six-year-old will usually stare at the circle left behind as if it were a magic trick. This 1st grade shapes traced from solids worksheet builds on that trick. Eight boxes each show one solid: a cylinder, a cone, a cube, three pyramids and two long boxes. A question asks whether one face of the solid could trace a circle, a square, a rectangle or a triangle. So the child pictures the solid standing on paper, imagines the outline, and colors yes or no. A second page gives the answer key.
