What is square?

A square is a shape with four equal sides and four right angles, like the face of a clock or a tile on the floor.

Imagine you have a rectangle, which has two pairs of equal sides, like a door. Now, if you make both pairs of sides the same length, it becomes a square. It’s like taking a rectangle that's 2 blocks long and 2 blocks wide, now every side is the same size!

Think of a square as a playground where all four sides are exactly the same. If you walk around the edge of the playground, each side is just as long as the others. It’s like drawing a box on paper with your crayon, if all four sides are straight and equal, it's a square.

You can find squares everywhere! Floor tiles, windows, even some cookies you bake. If you take a square cookie and cut it into smaller pieces, each piece might still be a square, depending on how you cut it!

A square is just like a perfect little box, equal on all sides, simple and fun to play with. A square is a shape with four equal sides and four right angles, like the face of a clock or a tile on the floor.
