What Are Sides and Corners?
Shapes are all around us!
Every shape has sides (the straight lines that make the shape) and corners (the points where two sides
meet). Let's learn to count them and see how shapes are different!

1️⃣ Look at the shape carefully
2️⃣ Count how many sides it has
3️⃣ Count how many corners it has

Parent Tips 🌟
- Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home. Ask your child to find objects and count their sides and corners.
- Playdough Shapes: Make shapes with playdough together. Count the sides and corners as you create each shape.
- Body Shapes: Use your arms to make shapes (triangle with two arms, square with arms and legs). Count the "sides" and "corners" you make!
