Shapes are the basic elements of everything around us! You can think of a shape as a special design that you can see and touch. The world is filled with interesting shapes, each one telling its own story. From the roundness of a ball to the sharp edges of a triangle, shapes are all around us! Let’s dive into the amazing world of shapes together!
A rectangle is a shape with four sides where opposite sides are the same length, and all the angles are right angles.
Common objects that are rectangles include a blackboard, a TV screen, and a ruler. These items are often found in our daily lives and have specific uses.
A square is a unique kind of rectangle and also a four-sided shape where all four sides are the same length.
Squares are used in many real-life situations, including architecture and design.
Both squares and rectangles are four-sided shapes, but a square is actually a special kind of rectangle! Here's what they have in common:
A triangle is a shape with three sides and three corners. It looks like a slice of pizza or a traffic sign.
Think of a circle as a round cookie. It's a shape with no corners, and when you draw it, you start at one point and go all the way around until you return to the start.
The centre of a circle is the point that is the same distance from every point on the edge, called the circumference. If you draw lines from the centre to the edge, they will all be equal in length. This distance is known as the radius.
The diameter is two times the radius and is the longest line that passes through the centre. The total distance around the circle is called the circumference.
We can make all sorts of things by combining different shapes creatively. Here are a few examples:
1. House: A house can be made using rectangles for the walls, a triangle for the roof, squares or rectangles for windows, and circles for doorknobs or windows.
2. Car: A car might have rectangles for the body, circles for wheels, and triangles for headlights or the hood.
3. Tree: A tree can be made using a rectangle for the trunk, circles for leaves, and triangles for branches.
4. Robot: A robot could have rectangles for the body and limbs, circles for eyes or buttons, and triangles for decorations or parts of its design
5. Rocket: A rocket might use cylinders for the body, cones for the top or nose, rectangles for fins, and circles for windows or portholes.
By combining shapes in different ways, we can create all sorts of objects, from everyday things like houses and cars to imaginative creations like robots and rockets! It's like putting together pieces of a puzzle to build something new and exciting.
With this pencil, you can draw different shapes! There are two main types of lines you can use to draw these shapes:
Shapes can also have different angles, which are important for classifying them. For example:
When you combine straight and curved lines in various ways, you can create all sorts of shapes like triangles, circles, squares, and rectangles. It's like using building blocks to create different structures!
A Tangram is a puzzle made up of seven different shapes. These shapes include:
You can use these shapes to create a variety of pictures and designs.
To make a tangram:
Now you can:
Let's Practice!
Answer:
Triangles have three sides. They have three corners
Question 2:

Answer:
We can make 4 squares with 12 match-sticks.
