Today, we’re going to explore some fun shapes called geometric plane shapes. Let’s see how many you can recognize!
Do you know what a circle is? It’s a round shape, just like a clock or a coin.
This shape looks a bit like a circle but is stretched out. It’s called an oval, like an egg or a rugby ball.
A triangle has three sides and three corners. You can see triangles in things like a slice of pizza or a piece of cheese.
A square has four equal sides. It looks like a piece of sandwich bread or a cookie.
A rectangle also has four sides, but only the opposite sides are the same length. Think of a picture frame or a door.
A diamond has four equal sides, but its corners are different. It can look like a shiny jewel.
A pentagon has five sides. You might see this shape in a birdhouse or on a soccer ball.
A hexagon has six sides. It can look like a honeycomb or a stop sign.
Great job! Now you know about circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, diamonds, pentagons, and hexagons!
Let’s learn about different types of lines. Are you ready?
First, we have straight lines. A horizontal line is like the horizon or a tightrope. A vertical line stands tall like a tree trunk or a microphone stand. An oblique line is slanted, like a slide.
Parallel lines are two lines that never touch, like train tracks. When they cross, they become perpendicular lines, like the corners of a window.
Curved lines can be wavy, like a snake, or spiral, like a lollipop. They can also be closed, like a pond.
Now you know about horizontal, vertical, oblique, parallel, perpendicular, and curved lines. Well done!
Let’s dive into some cool 3D shapes. Can you guess what they are?
A sphere is round like a ball. Imagine a tennis ball or a bowling ball.
A cube has six square sides. Dice and some boxes are cubes.
A cylinder has two flat circular ends. Think of a can or a candle.
A prism has two identical faces. A milk carton is a prism with square faces, and some have triangular faces like a tent.
A pyramid has a polygon base and triangular sides that meet at a point. It looks like the pyramids in Egypt.
A cone has a circular base and a pointy top. It looks like a party hat or an ice cream cone.
Awesome! Now you know about spheres, cubes, cylinders, prisms, pyramids, and cones. You’re doing great!
Keep exploring and see what other shapes you can find around you!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Can you find objects that match the plane shapes we learned about? Look for circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, diamonds, pentagons, and hexagons. Draw or take pictures of the objects you find and share them with your friends or family. How many different shapes can you find?
Line Art: Create a piece of art using different types of lines. Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw straight, curved, parallel, and perpendicular lines on a piece of paper. Can you make a picture using only lines? Maybe a landscape with a horizon line, or a cityscape with tall buildings and roads. Let your imagination guide you!
3D Shape Building: Use modeling clay or building blocks to create 3D shapes like spheres, cubes, cylinders, and pyramids. Try to build a small city using these shapes. What buildings can you make? A cylinder could be a tower, and a cube could be a house. Share your creations with your classmates and explain which shapes you used.

[Music] Today, we’re going to learn about geometric plane shapes. Do you know how many types there are? Here we go!
Do you know what this is? It’s a circle. A circle is round, like this lemon half or this clock.
What about this shape? It looks very much like a circle, but it’s not. This is an oval. It has a flat face, similar to a rugby ball.
This is not an oval anymore; this is a triangle. It’s a polygon with three sides and three angles. The triangle can be represented by various objects, such as a piece of cheese or a slice of pizza.
This is a square. This square looks like sandwich bread or a cookie.
This is a rectangle. It has four sides like the square, but they are not identical. Only its opposite sides are equal in length. A rectangle can be seen in objects like a bill or a picture frame.
This is a diamond shape. Its four sides are identical, but its angles are not equal. A diamond can resemble the jewel on a crown.
This shape right here is a pentagon. Pentagons have five sides: one, two, three, four, and five. A pentagon can be seen in a birdhouse or the stitches on a football.
Finally, I’ll show you the hexagon. Hexagons have six sides. A hexagon can be represented by a stop sign or a beehive.
Let’s recap: circle, oval, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, pentagon, hexagon. Now you know everything about plane shapes. Well done!

Today, we’re going to learn about the types of lines. Do you know how many types of lines there are? Here they come!
Let’s start with the straight line. This is a straight line. First, we’ll look at horizontal lines. Horizontal lines look like the horizon or the tightrope of an acrobat.
Now this is a vertical line. Vertical lines look like the trunk of a palm tree or a microphone stand.
This is an oblique line. Oblique lines can be seen in a slide or a skateboarding ramp.
Now here are two lines next to each other. They’re called parallel lines because they never touch. The lines in this notebook or the steps of a ladder are parallel.
When parallel lines crisscross, they change to perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines can be seen at a crossroads or the frame of a window.
Straight lines can also be polygonal or closed, like this triangle, square, or pentagon. Straight lines can be opened too, like these ones that resemble mountains.
Let’s have a look at curved lines. Curved lines can be opened or closed. Wavy curves are in the same group as curved lines, like a curvy path or a worm.
Spiral curves are in the same group as open curves, like a snail or a lollipop. Closed curves can be seen in a pond or a stain.
Let’s recap: horizontal line, vertical line, oblique line, parallel line, perpendicular lines, closed polygonal lines, open polygonal lines, curved lines, spiral curves. You learned everything about all types of lines. Well done!
[Applause]
Today, we’re going to learn about geometric shapes. Do you know how many types there are? Here they come!
Take a guess: what is this? Yes, it’s a sphere. Spheres look like a tennis ball or a bowling ball.
And this is a cube. Cubes have six identical square sides. Dice are cubes, and this box is also a cube.
This shape is a cylinder. Cylinders have two identical flat circular bases. A cylinder can be represented by a can or a candle.
This is a prism. Both faces of the prism are identical. There are many types of prisms. This milk carton is a prism, as both of its faces are identical squares.
In this prism, its bases are triangles. It looks like a skating rink.
This one is a pyramid. Its base is a polygon, and its sides are triangles. All sides meet at a central point called the apex, just like the pyramids in ancient Egypt or an Indian-style teepee.
Finally, I’ll show you a cone. The cone has a circular base and a vertex. The cone can be represented by a birthday hat or an ice cream cone.
Well done! Let’s recap all geometric shapes: sphere, cube, cylinder, prism, pyramid, cone. Now you know everything about geometric shapes. Great job!
