What students learn

Make, compare and group familiar shapes and objects, describing how they are alike and different.

How to teach it

Sort shapes by their number of sides, tracing each side and counting once. Use words like straight, curved and corner.

Worked example
I have 6 sides, just like a honeycomb cell. What shape am I?
Answer: hexagon

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Counting a corner as a side, or losing count on shapes with many sides.
