What are they use shapes?

Shapes are the special ways things look, and people use them to understand and build the world around us.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. Each block has a shape: some are long and straight like rectangles, others are round like circles, and some are pointy like triangles. When you stack these blocks together, they make towers, houses, or even cars!

• Shapes help us see patterns. If you look at a pizza, it’s usually a circle, that helps you know how much of it you're getting.
• Shapes help us build things. When you draw a house, you use rectangles for the walls and triangles for the roof. That makes your drawing look real!
• Shapes help us sort things out. Like when you put all your round toys in one bin and square ones in another, it’s easier to find what you want!

So next time you see something that looks like a triangle, rectangle, or circle, remember: someone used shapes to make it look just right!
