•Shapes is everywhere. Just as you live in a world of numbers, as also live in a world of shapes.
•Your house or apartment is full of shapes.
•Every corner forms a shape called an angle.
•Every door and doorway is a shape called a rectangle.
•The ends of the roof form a shape called a triangle.
•Concrete sidewalks are divided into shapes called squares and triangle.
•A stop sign on the street corner is an eight- sided shape called an octagon.
•A manhole cover on the street looks like a round, flat shape called a circle.
• Coins are kind of disk.
•Round, gleaming soap bubbles that float in the air are shapes called spheres.
•A tin can is called a cylinder.
• An ice cream cone is named for its shape, which is a cone.
Points and Lines- are things we use to make design.
Points:
-it’s a dot, it’s a period, in mathematicians, it’s a point.
-a pint has no length, or width, or thickness, and it has no dimensions.
-have some size and shape.
-
Lines:
-as a row of points.
-has a length, and one dimensions.
-mathematicians think has no width and thickness
every shapes is made up of lines. (triangles, squares, circle)
Triangle tricks
•Triangles are thicky shapes. You can do some surprising things with
them.
Lets make a triangle that you can do some tricks with them. You'll need
a piece of paper about the size of this book, and a scissors.
1. First, fold the paper in half by bringing the top edge down to the bottom
edge.
2. Now, with the folded edge at the top, take thenupper left hand corner
and fold it slantwise toward you, so that the corner is even with the
bottom edge of the ppaper.
3. Crease the fold.
4.Now, unfold the paper.
5. With the scissors, cut along the foldmarks that from the large triangle.
Kinds of Triangles
• Isosceles Triangle
•Right Triangle
•Parallelogram
CREATING DIFFERENT SHAPES USING TRIANGLE
•Move one triangle around until the right angle is at the lower left. move until the
other triangle until the right angle is at the lower right.
•Turn one triangle so that its long side fits against the long side of the other.
• SQUARE- a shape that has four right angles and four sides that all the same
length.

A square Puzzle
• Long ago, there was a farmer whose land was in the shape
of a square. Each side of the square was exactly one
hundered paces long.
• One day, a tired, dusty man knocked on the farmers door
and asked for something to eat. The farmer, being a kind
person, gave the man a nice lunch.
• After the man had eaten, he said, "Farmer, I am your king!
as a reward for your kindness in giving me food when you
thought I was just a humble stranger, you may the double
the size of your land. But when you have added the new

a square.
• Then he tried adding two small squares to one
side of the old square and two to another side.
This almost worked. But there was a piece
missing out of one corner, so it wasn't a perfect
square. And if he filled in the missing piece, he
would more than double the size of this farm.

• Again, the farmer scratched his head. Then he had
another idea. he divided his old square into four parts
by drawing diagonal lines between the opposite
corners. Now the square was divided into four
triangles. If he could add four more triangles of exactly
the size- and somehow make a square- he would have
solve the puzzle!
• So he added a triangle to one of the old square.
• Then he added a triangle to another side.
• Then he put triangles on each of the other sides.
