Welcome

Shapes are everywhere!

Your window is a rectangle. A ball is a circle. A pizza slice is a triangle.

Let's go on a shape hunt together!

Shape Hunt Begins

Look around the room you are in right now.

Can you spot any shapes?

Can you name a shape you see right now?

All About Circles

A circle is a very special shape.

It is perfectly round. It has no corners and no straight sides.

Here are some things shaped like circles: a clock, a wheel, a cookie, and the moon!

Squares and Rectangles

A square has 4 sides that are all the same length. It has 4 corners.

A rectangle also has 4 sides and 4 corners, but two sides are longer than the other two.

Here is a fun secret: a square IS a special rectangle! All its sides are just the same length.

Squares and rectangles are everywhere: windows, doors, books, TV screens, and phones!
