Shapes and Patterns

What Is a Shape?

A two-dimensional shape is flat and has an outline. Some shapes have straight sides, while others have curved outlines.
Circles are round, squares have four equal sides, and triangles have three sides.
You can find shapes everywhere – in a window, a slice of pizza, or the round face of a clock.

Fun Patterns

A pattern repeats the same thing over and over.
Red‑blue‑red‑blue is a color pattern.
Square‑circle‑square‑circle is a shape pattern.
When you notice a pattern, you can guess what comes next.

Play with Shapes

• Match The Shape: Find objects that look the same.
• Make A Pattern: Put a block, then a ball, then a block, and keep going.
• Create Pictures: Use circles for heads, squares for houses, and triangles for roofs.

Look around you. Spot shapes. Spot patterns. Have fun exploring!
