Let’s understand the idea.
- Follow the boundary of a flat shape. Count each straight side and each corner once.
- Compare parts: a triangle has three corners; a rectangle has four square corners.
- Solid shapes have surfaces. A cube has flat square faces; a sphere's surface is curved.
Try it. Change it. Explain it.
Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.
You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
