ClassX Video Lessons Geometry for 1st and 2nd grade – Geometry Review – Hexagon, Trapezoid, Pentagon and more
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to have some fun with shapes. Let’s dive into our geometry worksheet and learn about different shapes together!
First, let’s look at some shapes and figure out what they are. We’ll start by counting the sides of each shape to help us identify them.
Our first shape wants us to decide if it’s a pentagon, a hexagon, or a rectangle. We know a rectangle has four sides, so it can’t be that. Let’s count the sides: one, two, three, four, five, six. It has six sides, so it’s a hexagon! Let’s circle “hexagon” on our worksheet.
Next, we have another shape. Is it a square, a hexagon, or a trapezoid? We know it’s not a hexagon because we just saw one. A trapezoid is a special shape with four sides, and two of those sides are parallel, meaning they run alongside each other without ever meeting. Let’s check: this shape has four sides, and two sides are parallel. It’s a trapezoid! Let’s circle “trapezoid” on our worksheet.
Now, let’s have some fun with patterns! Patterns are like puzzles that repeat in a certain way.
We have a pattern: diamond, pentagon, diamond. What comes next? Let’s count the sides of the shape we need: one, two, three, four, five. A shape with five sides is a pentagon. So, the pattern goes diamond, pentagon, diamond, pentagon. Let’s circle “pentagon” on our worksheet.
Here’s another pattern: square, triangle, square. What comes next? We see a triangle right here. So, the pattern is square, triangle, square, triangle. Let’s circle “triangle” on our worksheet.
You did an amazing job today learning about shapes and patterns! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a shape expert in no time. Don’t forget to have fun with shapes and patterns wherever you see them!
Shape Hunt at Home: Go on a shape hunt around your house! Look for objects that match the shapes we learned about: hexagons, trapezoids, pentagons, and triangles. Can you find a hexagon in your kitchen? Maybe a trapezoid in your living room? Draw or take a picture of each shape you find and share it with your class.
Build Your Own Patterns: Use colored paper, blocks, or even snacks like crackers and fruit slices to create your own repeating patterns. Start with a simple pattern like square, triangle, square, and then try to make it more complex. Can you create a pattern that includes a hexagon or a trapezoid? Show your pattern to a family member and see if they can guess what comes next!
Shape Story Time: Imagine that each shape is a character in a story. What kind of adventures would a hexagon and a trapezoid have together? Write a short story or draw a comic strip about their day. Share your story with your classmates and see what creative adventures they came up with for their shapes!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

All right, so we have our geometry review worksheet, and it says to circle the correct answer. We’re looking at our different shapes here.
Let’s look at the first one. It wants to know if it is a pentagon, a hexagon, or a rectangle. I know it’s not a rectangle for sure, but I can’t really remember. Let’s think for a second. A pentagon has five sides and a hexagon has six, so let’s count how many sides: one, two, three, four, five, six. So it’s a hexagon! That’s what we’re going to circle right here: hexagon.
The next one asks if it is a square, a hexagon, or a trapezoid. We know it’s not a hexagon because we just saw that hexagon, and it probably doesn’t look like a square. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has two sides that are parallel. It could be similar to a square or a rectangle, but it only has two sides that are parallel.
So let’s look here; this shape has four sides. It’s a quadrilateral. The two sides that are parallel are this one and this one. So that is called a trapezoid. We’re going to circle that one right here.
The next one is a pattern: diamond, pentagon, diamond. It wants to know what would come next. According to our pattern, let’s count the sides: one, two, three, four, five. So that’s not a hexagon; that’s called a pentagon. A pentagon has five sides. We’re going to circle that one right over here because that would be what comes next: diamond, pentagon, diamond, pentagon.
The next one is a square, triangle, square, triangle. Let’s see if we can find that down here. Yep, right down here is a triangle, so we’re going to circle that one right over there.
