Description
Teaching your preschooler to name basic shapes — circle, square, triangle, and rectangle? Here are four playful, classroom-tested steps that really work, built around the big idea that every shape is known by its sides and corners.
Steps in this video:
1. The big idea: name a shape by its sides and corners.
2. Learn the names with the Shapes Song.
3. Trace each shape and count its corners.
4. Go on a real-world shape hunt around the house.
5. Sort and match paper shapes into groups.
