Do you know what shapes are all around you? Do you stand on squares, ride in rectangles, chat in circles? Get out your craft tools and collect some shapes, after you play some matching games!
You already know your basic shapes: triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles. In this lesson, you will dig a little deeper and learn more about the basic shapes.
See if you can count the sides on all the shapes below:
You already know all of your basic two-dimensional shapes!
During this lesson, you will review circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles.
Let's review the basic shapes before you begin the project.
A circle is round, has no sides, and is two-dimensional. There are pictures of circles below:
A square has four equal-length sides, four angles, and is two-dimensional:
A triangle has three sides, three angles, and is a two-dimensional shape. Look at the triangles below:
A rectangle has four sides (two of the sides are different lengths), four angles, and is two-dimensional:
