What is Geometry?
Geometry is all about shapes and spaces!
It helps us understand the world around us - from the rectangular screen you're looking at now to the circular wheels on your bike. Let's explore some fun geometry concepts together!
Key Geometry Concepts
1️⃣ Shapes: 2D (flat) and 3D (solid) objects
2️⃣ Angles: The space between two lines (like a corner)
3️⃣ Symmetry: When one half matches the other half
Interactive Examples
Example 1: Shape Detective
How many right angles (90° corners) does this shape have?
4
2
0
Example 2: Symmetry Challenge
Which of these shapes has exactly one line of symmetry?
Square
Diamond
Triangle
Parent Tips 🌟
- Shape Hunt: Turn a walk into a geometry adventure by spotting different shapes in your neighborhood.
- Building Fun: Use blocks or LEGO to create 3D shapes and discuss their properties (faces, edges, corners).
- Art Connection: Have your child create geometric art using rulers and protractors to practice measuring angles.
