Class 1 Shapes, Patterns and Daily Routine Worksheet
Class 1 Maths · Shapes, patterns and time as daily routine · 82 questions with answers
This sheet ties together three lighter strands of the Class 1 book: naming everyday shapes, continuing a repeating pattern, and ordering the events of a day - all without a clock face, since reading a clock only arrives in Class 2.
- Name the everyday shape a familiar object looks like.
- Continue a simple repeating pattern by one more unit.
- Order the events of a day correctly, from waking up to sleeping.

- 2) Brushing your teeth usually happens before breakfast, because most children brush and get ready first thing after waking up.
- 3) A door is more like a rectangle, because it has four straight sides and four corners, and it is longer than it is wide.
- 4) A square comes next, because the pattern repeats square, circle, square, circle, and the last shape shown was a circle.
- 5) Usually after, because playing in the evening comes before the family sits down for dinner at night.
- 6) A square has more corners - 4 corners compared to a triangle's 3.
- 7) A carrom board is more like a square, because it has four equal straight sides and four corners.

While your child works
- None of this sheet asks a child to read a clock - Class 1 orders the day only by morning, afternoon and evening. Clock reading begins in Class 2.
- For the pattern questions, say the pattern out loud with your child before drawing - “circle, triangle, circle, triangle” - so the rule is heard, not just seen.
- Everyday objects at home make the best extra practice: point to a plate, a matchbox and a roti and ask which shape each one is.
