Follow the dashed lines to find each small shape, and mark each one as you count it. For the new shape, count only the outside edges as sides.
Watch for: Counting the same small shape twice. Counting the dashed lines as sides of the new shape. Missing a small shape in the middle of the picture.
At home: Cut a square of paper into two triangles, then into four. Ask what new shapes your child can build from the pieces.
