Shapes have sides and corners. A triangle has 3 sides and 3 corners, a square has 4 sides and 4 corners! Circle, rectangle and triangle are the main shapes we learn in 2nd grade. We can draw them with pencils or trace them with rulers! We can also make shapes with blocks or other objects. See what cool shapes you can make!
Fun with Shapes!
Triangle: A two dimensional shape composed of three straight lines and three angles. Square: A two-dimensional shape composed of four straight lines and four angles. Circle: A two-dimensional shape composed of one curved line that forms a continuous loop.
