Long before kids learn the words "geometry" or "polygon," they are already surrounded by shapes. A clock on the wall is a circle. A book is a rectangle. A slice of pizza is a triangle. Learning to notice these shapes in real life helps kindergarten students connect abstract shape names to things they already know, which makes the shapes much easier to remember.
In this topic we look at both flat shapes and solid shapes as they appear on everyday objects, and we practice matching each object to its correct shape name.
