DEFINITION:
A shape that only has two dimensions (such as width and height) and no thickness. They are flat.

HOW TO:
Examples are squares, circles, and triangles.

Everyday Use:
2 Dimensional shapes are used every day in drawing and in illustrations in books.

Lyrics

It’s the shapes circles, rectangles, and squares

And triangles let me make you aware

It’s the shapes… pentagon, hexagon, octagon

It’s the shapes circles, rectangles, and squares

And triangles let me make you aware

It’s the shapes… pentagon, hexagon, octagon

Triangle has 3 sides (3)

Square that there has 4 sides (4)

Pentagon that’s 5 sides (5),

Hexagon that’s 6 (6)

Heptagon that’s 7 sides (7)

Octagon that’s eight sides (8)

Nonagon that’s 9 sides (9), Decagon that’s 10 (10)

Run it back

Triangle that’s 3 sides (3)

Square, Square, Square, that’s 4 sides

Pentagon has 5 sides

Hexagon has 6

Heptagon got 7

Octagon has 8 sides

Nonagon has 9

Decagon has 10

It’s the shapes circles, rectangles, and squares

And triangles let me make you aware

It’s the shapes… pentagon, hexagon, octagon

It’s the shapes circles, rectangles, and squares

And triangles let me make you aware

It’s the shapes… pentagon, hexagon, octagon

Standards

  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.4 — 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/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.3 — Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
  • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSG.GMD.B.4 — Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, and identify three-dimensional objects generated by rotations of two-dimensional objects.
