In a busy town, a group of friends finds a bakery famous for its yummy treats. After enjoying some tasty desserts, they meet a sad baker. This baker is known for making amazing cakes and pastries, but today he has a big problem. He needs to make a special cake for a party at Mira’s house in just two hours, but something went wrong.
The baker tells the friends that he fell off his motorcycle, and his cake got ruined. With time running out, he worries he won’t finish the cake in time. The friends want to help, so they invite the baker to their home to bake the cake and make sure it’s ready for the party.
As the baker gets ready to bake, he realizes he forgot his hexagon mold, which is very important for making his special cake. The friends quickly tell him they can go to his bakery and get the mold while he starts preparing.
The friends set off to find the hexagon mold, which turns into a fun learning moment. One friend explains that a hexagon is a shape with six sides and six angles. They find three different molds and start counting the sides to find the right one.
With the right mold, the friends hurry back to help the baker.
The baker is very thankful when he gets the hexagon mold. He tells the friends that without their help, he couldn’t have finished the cake on time. The friends remind him that they all worked together, and they all share in the success.
As the baker gets ready to take the cake to Mira’s house, the friends ask a fun question: “How many sides does a hexagon have?” They encourage everyone to write their answers and join in the fun.
The adventure ends with the friends celebrating their teamwork and the baker’s success. They promise to come back with more fun games and stories, making everyone excited for what’s next!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that are shaped like a hexagon. Count the sides and angles of each object to make sure it has six sides and six angles. Draw a picture of each hexagon-shaped object you find and share it with your classmates. Can you find at least three different hexagon-shaped items?
Build Your Own Hexagon: Use craft sticks, straws, or pipe cleaners to create your own hexagon. Make sure to connect six sides to form the shape. Once you have built your hexagon, try to create other shapes like triangles and squares. How many sides do each of these shapes have? Discuss with a friend how these shapes are different from a hexagon.
Hexagon Puzzle: Draw a large hexagon on a piece of paper and divide it into smaller shapes like triangles and rectangles. Color each smaller shape with different colors. Can you find a way to put the smaller shapes back together to form the hexagon again? This activity will help you understand how different shapes can fit together to form a hexagon.
