Shapes and Patterns

What Is a Shape?

A shape is a flat picture that has edges.
Circles are round, squares have four equal sides, and triangles have three sides.
You can find shapes everywhere – in a ball, a window, or a slice of pizza.

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!
