Hello, everyone! Today, we are going to have fun learning about shapes and their sides. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
A side is a straight line that helps make a shape. When you put sides together, they form a shape called a polygon. Let’s explore some shapes and count their sides!
Do you know what a square looks like? Let’s count its sides together. One, two, three, four! A square has four sides. Each side is the same length, and they all connect to make a square.
Next, let’s look at a trapezoid. It might look a little different, but it also has four sides. Let’s count: one, two, three, four! A trapezoid is a four-sided shape, just like a square, but its sides can be different lengths.
Now, let’s draw a triangle. How many sides does it have? Let’s count: one, two, three! A triangle has three sides. All three sides connect to form this pointy shape.
What about a circle? Let’s draw one. How many sides does a circle have? None! A circle is round and has no sides at all. Isn’t that interesting?
Finally, let’s look at a hexagon. Let’s count its sides: one, two, three, four, five, six! A hexagon has six sides. It’s like a super square with two extra sides!
Remember, a side is a line that connects with other lines to make a shape. These shapes are called polygons. Now you know how to count sides and name some shapes!
Thanks for learning with us today! Keep practicing counting sides, and you’ll become a shape expert in no time. See you next time!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that match the shapes we learned about: squares, triangles, trapezoids, and hexagons. Count the sides of each object and see if they match the shape you think they are. Can you find a shape with more than six sides?
Shape Art: Create a picture using different shapes. You can use colored paper, scissors, and glue to cut out squares, triangles, trapezoids, and hexagons. Arrange them to make a fun picture, like a house, a robot, or a flower. Count the sides of each shape as you go!
Side Counting Game: With a friend or family member, take turns drawing shapes on a piece of paper. After drawing a shape, count the sides together and name the shape. Try to draw as many different shapes as you can. Can you draw a shape with more sides than a hexagon?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hello, everyone! Let’s open the worksheet. Don’t forget to like this video and subscribe to our channel. You can find the link to this app in the comments below. Today, we’re going to talk about geometry and sides.
A side is any line segment used to form a polygon or shape. Let’s take a look at this example. Do you know this shape? How many sides does it have? Let’s count together! This shape is called a square, and it has one, two, three, four sides. I can see four separate line segments in this shape that connect to form my polygon called the square.
Now, let’s look at the examples on the worksheet and see how many sides these shapes have. Our first example is also a square. Let’s count the sides in this picture and draw a square to make sure we have the correct number of sides. First, I’m going to draw a square and count the number of sides. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four sides.
I’m pretty sure that this square has four sides, but let’s count the sides in the picture on the worksheet to confirm: one, two, three, four sides. A square has four sides, so let’s circle the number four.
Our second example is a trapezoid. Let’s draw a trapezoid. Who will count the sides on this trapezoid? I know that my trapezoid looks a little different than the one on the worksheet, but trust me, they’re both trapezoids. Let’s count the sides on both my trapezoid and the trapezoid on the worksheet to see how many sides a trapezoid really has.
My trapezoid has one, two, three, four sides, and the trapezoid on the worksheet also has one, two, three, four sides. A trapezoid is a four-sided shape.
Next, let’s look at a triangle. Let’s draw a triangle on my worksheet and compare it to the triangle on the worksheet. My triangle has one, two, three sides, and the triangle on the worksheet also has one, two, three sides. There are three separate line segments that connect to make this shape. This triangle has three sides.
Our next shape is a circle. Let’s draw a circle. How many sides do you see on this circle? None! There are no sides in a circle. Therefore, we’ll circle the number zero because there are no line segments that make up this shape.
Our last shape is a hexagon. Let’s draw a hexagon. In my hexagon, there are one, two, three, four, five, six sides, and the hexagon on the worksheet has one, two, three, four, five, six sides. A hexagon is a six-sided shape.
Remember, boys and girls, a side is a line segment that connects to another line segment to form a closed shape, which we call a polygon.
Thanks for watching, boys and girls! Remember to count your sides carefully. See you next time! Like us and subscribe to our channel, and find links to our apps in the comments below.
