- What shape is that ?
- Where do we find them?
- Hi there super sleuths! Today we've been tasked to find and identify various shapes in our surroundings. We'll be identifying: circles, squares, triangles, rectangles and hexagons.
- What do these shapes look like?
- Let me illustrate these for you so you can learn to identify them yourselves. I'll give you the specific characteristics of each so there is no mistaking.
- Circle-Made of curved lines- It is Round-All points on the curved line are equal distance from the center.This shape is two dimensional. This means its flat.
- Looks like the shape of the pizza we ate last night.
- Has anyone seen this shape around recently?
- I can!
- I can!
- I would like for you to come to the board and draw the object that is in the shape of a circle.
- Can anyone else provide me with an example of a circle?
- Eactly! Pizza's are round. In the form of a circle.
- The Sun!
- Very good! You got this! Indeed, the moon was full last night!
- The moon was very round last night.
- This is going to be a breeze for you all. You're very observant. Let me introduce the other shapes and their characteristics.
- Then I'll have you come up to the board and illustrate the shape in the form you've observed it in.
- Square has:4 corners4 sides that are all the same length.
- Square
- Who can tell me where one might see these shapes around?
- Triangle
- Triangles has: 3 corner3 angles
- Our dining room table and our coffee table are square.
- My lunch sandwich is triangle shaped.
- The slices of pizza we had for dinner were triangle shaped.
- hahaha!
- Let's work on the next shape. This one likes like a square but it's a little longer.
- Outstanding! You are all super sleuths! Those were perfect examples.
- Rectangle
- There is a very rectangular object up here that we use everyday. Who can see it?
- Notice it looks like a square but it is longer and it has equal pairs sides. A square's sides are all equal.
- Rectangle has: 4 straight sides4 cornersIt has 2 long sides, 2 short sides
- I see it! The chalkboard!
- Basic Geometrical Shapes
- Yes! The chalkboard.
- We've got one more shape to cover. We see this one alot when we are on the road or in a soccer field.
- I thought it might stump you but you are too clever. Fantastic!
- Hexagon
- Hexagon has: 6 sides6 cornersAll 6 sides are straightIt is flat. Two dimensional
- Where can we find a hexagon? I had mentioned it is common on the road. Can anyone guess?
- Basic Geometrical Shapes
- A stop sign!
- On a soccer ball!
- Amazing job, Shape Hunters! You've identified common 2 dimensional shapes we see around us all day. Next lesson will cover 3 dimensional shapes.
