🧱 Shapes & Building
Recognise shapes and fit pieces together
📏 Know your shapes
Triangle: 3 sides and 3 corners. Square: 4 equal sides and 4 corners. Rectangle: 4 sides (opposite sides equal) and 4 corners. Circle: round with no corners at all.
Count the sides and corners to tell them apart!

🧩 Fitting pieces together
Some problems give you puzzle pieces. Try each piece in your head:
- Does it fill the gap exactly?
- Does it match the outline?
- Can you turn it or flip it to fit?
Rotate and flip 🔄
Imagine the piece in your mind. Twist it, flip it, turn it upside down. Does it fit now?
🏗️ Building with blocks
When blocks are stacked, some hide behind others. Count the ones you can see AND imagine the hidden ones.
If you see a tower of 3 blocks, you can see the top and front. But blocks behind and inside are hidden. Think: "How many sides of the top block can I see? How many are hidden?"
Can you see 3 faces of the top cube?
3 faces hidden
💡 Shape-spotting tips
- Touch and trace — Run your finger around the shape to feel its outline
- Count corners — Tap each corner as you count
- Look for hidden shapes — Sometimes big shapes are made of smaller ones
- Turn the picture — A shape might look different from a new angle
