What Are Shapes?

Shapes are all around us! A shape is the outline of something.

Four shapes to know: circle (round), square (four equal sides), triangle (three sides), rectangle (two long sides and two short sides).

Find These Shapes

  • ⭕ A circle — a football, a coin, the moon
  • ■ A square — a chessboard, a floor tile
  • ▲ A triangle — a sandwich, a traffic sign
  • □ A rectangle — a door, a book, a phone

Practice

Look around your home and point out: one circle, one square, one triangle and one rectangle. Tell someone what each one is!
