Shapes and Patterns

Introduction

Shapes and patterns are all around us! In mathematics, we learn about different shapes like circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles. We also explore how these shapes can be put together to create beautiful patterns.

Shapes

Shapes are all around us in our everyday lives. Here are some examples:

• Circle: A circle is round like a ball or a pizza.
• Triangle: A triangle has three sides like a slice of pizza.
• Square: A square has four equal sides like a window.
• Rectangle: A rectangle has two long sides and two short sides like a door.

Patterns

Patterns are when shapes or colors repeat in a sequence. For example:

• AB Pattern: A-B-A-B (e.g., red-blue-red-blue)
• ABC Pattern: A-B-C-A-B-C (e.g., circle-triangle-square-circle-triangle-square)

Fun Activity

Create your own pattern using shapes or colors! You can use crayons, stickers, or even draw on paper to make your unique pattern.

Remember

• Shapes are all around us in our environment.
• Circles are round, triangles have three sides, squares have four equal sides, and rectangles have two long and two short sides.
• Patterns are when shapes or colors repeat in a sequence, like A-B-A-B or A-B-C-A-B-C.
