Naming shapes

Naming flat shapes like squares, circles, triangles and rectangles, whatever their size and however they're turned.

How to help

Look at the sides and corners, not the size or tilt. A square has 4 equal sides and 4 square corners, even when it's tipped onto a point.

Watch for: Not calling a turned square a square because it looks like a diamond. Circling a long, thin rectangle as a square. Skipping small squares because they look too little.

At home: Hunt for shapes around the house: windows, plates, slices of toast. Turn a cracker and ask if it's still the same shape (it is).
