Shapes
In math, a shape is a geometric figure that can be described by its outline, area, and other properties. There are many different types of shapes, each with its own unique characteristics.
Common Shapes
Some common shapes include:
- Circle: A shape with all points the same distance from its center.
- Square: A four-sided shape with all sides of equal length and all angles of 90 degrees.
- Triangle: A three-sided shape with varying side lengths and angles.
- Rectangle: A four-sided shape with opposite sides of equal length and all angles of 90 degrees.
Properties of Shapes
Shapes have various properties, such as:
- Area: The amount of space enclosed by the shape's boundary.
- Perimeter: The distance around the outer edge of the shape.
- Angles: The measure of the corners formed by the intersecting sides of the shape.
Classification of Shapes
Shapes can be classified into different categories based on their properties, such as:
- Polygons: Shapes with straight sides and angles, including triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and more.
- Circles: Shapes with a curved boundary and a constant radius.

Geometry
Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres).
Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. [K-G1]
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. [K-G2]
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”). [K-G3]
Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.
Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices or “corners”), and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). [K-G4]
Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. [K-G5]
