In this lesson, Roller the Panda introduces young learners to various shapes, including triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, circles, and ovals. Each shape is described with its number of sides and corners, encouraging children to count along and engage with the material. The lesson emphasizes the unique characteristics of each shape while promoting exploration and practice beyond the classroom.
  1. What shape has three sides and three corners?
  2. Can you name a shape that has four sides and four corners?
  3. What do you think is special about a circle and an oval?

Welcome to the World of Shapes!

Hello, friends! I’m Roller the Panda, and today we’re going to have fun learning about shapes. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Meet the Triangle

Our first shape is the triangle. A triangle is a shape with three sides. Let’s count them together: one, two, three. Great job! A triangle also has three corners. Let’s count the corners: one, two, three. So, a triangle has three sides and three corners. Isn’t that cool?

Rectangle Time

Next up is the rectangle. A rectangle has four sides. Let’s count them: one, two, three, four. Did you know that the opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length? That’s right! Now, let’s count the corners: one, two, three, four. A rectangle has four sides and four corners.

Say Hello to the Square

Now, let’s look at the square. A square also has four sides and four corners. But guess what? All four sides of a square are the same length. Isn’t that neat?

Introducing the Pentagon

Here comes the pentagon! A pentagon has five sides. Let’s count them: one, two, three, four, five. It also has five corners. Count them with me: one, two, three, four, five. A pentagon is full of fives!

Hexagon Fun

Now, let’s meet the hexagon. A hexagon has six sides. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six. It also has six corners. Count them: one, two, three, four, five, six. Hexagons are super fun!

Round and Round with the Circle

Next is the circle. A circle is round and doesn’t have any sides or corners. It’s just one smooth curve all the way around. Isn’t that interesting?

Oval Adventure

Our last shape is the oval. An oval is like a circle, but a little stretched out. It has no sides or corners, just like the circle. It’s smooth and round!

Keep Exploring!

That’s all for today, friends! I hope you had fun learning about shapes. Remember, you can always practice more and explore new shapes. Thanks for joining me, Roller the Panda, on this shape adventure. See you next time!

  • Can you find any objects around you that are shaped like a triangle, rectangle, or circle? What are they, and where did you find them?
  • Why do you think some shapes, like circles and ovals, don’t have any corners? How are they different from shapes like squares and triangles?
  • Imagine you are building a house with different shapes. Which shapes would you use for the walls, roof, and windows? Why would you choose those shapes?
  • Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that match the shapes we’ve learned about. Can you find a triangle, rectangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, circle, and oval? Draw a picture of each object you find and label the shape. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member.
  • Shape Art: Use colored paper, scissors, and glue to create a fun picture using different shapes. Cut out triangles, rectangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, circles, and ovals. Arrange them on a piece of paper to make a house, a robot, or even a rocket ship! What shapes did you use the most? Which shape was the hardest to use?
  • Shape Story: Imagine a story where each character is a different shape. What adventures do they go on? How do their unique shapes help them in the story? Draw a picture of your favorite part of the story and tell it to a friend or family member. What was the most exciting part of your shape story?

Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hey guys, and welcome to Tutoring Hour! I’m Roller the Panda, and today I’m going to tell you about 2D shapes.

Let’s take a look at our first shape: the triangle. A triangle is a three-sided shape. These are the sides of the triangle. Let’s count the sides: one, two, and three. A triangle has three sides. The point where two sides meet is called a corner. Let’s see how many corners there are: one, two, and three. So, a triangle has three sides and three corners.

Now, let’s take a look at our next shape: the rectangle. A rectangle has four sides. These are the sides of the rectangle. Let’s count the sides: one, two, three, and four. Yes, the rectangle has four sides. Did you notice that the opposite sides in a rectangle are equal? These two opposite sides are equal, and these two opposite sides are also equal in length.

Now, let’s count the corners: one, two, three, and four. A rectangle has four sides and four corners.

Our third shape is a square. A square has four sides and four corners. These are the four sides of a square, and these are its four corners. All four sides of a square are equal.

What do we have next? A pentagon! A pentagon has five sides and five corners.

Up next is a hexagon. A hexagon has six sides and six corners.

Our next shape is a circle. A circle is round and has no sides or corners.

Our last shape is an oval. It has no sides or corners, just like the circle. It has a rounded and slightly elongated outline.
