                                             Kinds of Shapes

                                             Squares and rectangles have four straight sides
                                             and four corners. How are squares and rectangles

                                             different?

                                             A square has four corners and all four sides are
                                             the sam e length.

                                             A rectangle also has four corners but two sides

                                             are longer than the other two.

                                             Circles and ovals don't have straight lines or
                                             corners. How are circles and ovals different?

                                             All triangles have three straight lines and three

                                             corners.
                                              Stars, crescents, and spirals are all very different

                                              kinds of shapes.

                                              Stars have lots of sides.

                                              Crescents have two sides, but they aren't straight.

                                              Spirals don't have sides and they don't have
                                              straight lines or corners.

                                              What shapes do you see in this nature collage?
