Step 1: Let's Learn

Read it, or press Listen and follow the words.

Every room is full of shapes. You only have to look for them.

Some to find

A clock is a circle. A window is a rectangle. A slice of toast cut corner to corner is a triangle.

The shape is usually chosen

A wheel is round so it rolls. A table is flat so things stay on it. Someone picked the shape for a reason.

Shapes hide inside things

A house is not a triangle, but its roof is. Look at parts of things, not only whole things.

Say what makes it that shape

Do not just say circle. Say it is a circle because it is round with no corners. Then you know you are right.

Step 2: Try It Yourself

Tap and try it out.

A circle, like a clock or a plate.

A circle is round all the way around.
