There are many websites that classify various aspects of mathematics.

For example:

However, I am unable to find a classification of shapes by vertices. Does anyone know of one I have missed searching online for?

What is your definition of "shape"? – Travis Willse Oct 17 '14 at 10:23
I was thinking for circles, squares, etc; but if you have another definition of shape and a resource that goes with it, I would like to know about it. – El Santi Oct 17 '14 at 14:49
My point is, the classification very strongly depends on what you mean by "shape" in the first place, and under what circumstances you consider two shapes the same. Even counting similar triangles as the same, for example, there are infinite many kinds of triangles. – Travis Willse Oct 17 '14 at 15:28
@Travis but every triangle only has three vertices. I am asking for objects which have the same number of vertices, as list of those. – El Santi Oct 18 '14 at 04:42
Of course, you can classify polygons by number of vertices just by, well, counting their vertices. But circles, for example, do not have vertices. – Travis Willse Oct 18 '14 at 04:50
