How Does Shapes, Sides and Vertices | Version 1 | Jack Hartmann Work?

Shapes are like building blocks, they have sides and vertices, which are like the edges and corners you can touch.

Imagine you're playing with a toy box full of different shapes: squares, triangles, rectangles, and circles. Each shape has its own number of sides (the straight lines that form it) and vertices (the points where two sides meet).

If you draw a square, you'll see four sides, like four pencils joined together to make a box. A triangle has three sides, like the tip of an ice cream cone. The more sides a shape has, the more lines it needs to form.

Every time two sides meet, they create a vertex, kind of like the corner of your room where two walls come together. A square has four vertices, and a triangle has three. If you count them, you can figure out what shape it is!

So next time you're playing with blocks or drawing shapes, think about how many sides and vertices each one has, it’s like solving a fun puzzle with your hands! Shapes are like building blocks, they have sides and vertices, which are like the edges and corners you can touch.
