To the left, to the right

Five strings of shapes, five instructions. Find the triangle, then everything to its left or right, just before it, or between two of them.

Ages4–7TypeLogic

Find the marker first.

A position words worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. Each row is a string of shapes threaded like beads with one instruction above it: color the circles to the right of the triangle green and those to the left yellow; color the shape just before the star red and the one just after it blue; color every shape between the two triangles; color the third shape from the left; or count the shapes to the right of the star. Easy uses left, right and next to; medium adds between and first, second, third; hard adds counting. Each string has shapes on both sides of the marker and others to leave alone.
