Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going to learn about different shapes, their sides, and their angles. Let’s start by understanding what sides and angles are.
A side is a straight line on a shape. An angle is where two sides meet, like a corner. Let’s look at a shape called a trapezoid to see how this works.
Do you know what a trapezoid is? It’s a shape with four sides. Let’s count them: one, two, three, four. It also has four angles. Can you find them? They’re at the corners where the sides meet. Let’s count: one, two, three, four angles!
Now, let’s play a fun game! We’ll read a description and guess the shape. Ready?
Can you think of a shape with three sides and three angles? It’s a triangle! Let’s check: one, two, three sides and one, two, three angles. Yes, it’s a triangle!
What shape has no angles? Here’s a hint: it also has no sides. It’s a circle! A circle is round and doesn’t have any corners or sides.
Can you guess a shape with six sides and six angles? It’s a hexagon! Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six sides and one, two, three, four, five, six angles. That’s a hexagon!
What shape has four equal sides? It’s a square! A square has four sides that are all the same length. That’s what makes it special!
Remember, a side is a straight line on a shape, and an angle is where two sides meet. Shapes are fun and come in all sorts of forms!
Thanks for learning with us today! Keep exploring shapes and 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: triangle, circle, hexagon, and square. Draw each object you find and label its shape. How many different shapes can you find?
Build a Shape: Use craft sticks, straws, or pipe cleaners to create different shapes. Try making a triangle, square, and hexagon. Count the sides and angles of each shape you build. Can you make a shape with more than six sides?
Shape Story: Imagine a day in the life of a shape. Choose your favorite shape and write a short story about its adventures. Does it meet other shapes? What fun things do they do together? Share your story with a friend or family member.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hello boys and girls, it’s Teacher Michael with Kids Academy. Today, I’d like to talk to you about different shapes, their sides, and their angles. But before we get started, let’s review what a side and an angle are.
Let’s take a look at this shape right here. Do you know the name of this shape? Well, this is a trapezoid. How many sides does my trapezoid have? A side is just a straight line, so let’s count the straight lines or the sides together. I see one, two, three, four. This trapezoid has four sides.
I know that in this trapezoid, there are also four angles. The angles are where the two sides meet; they’re kind of like the corners. So, there’s one, two, three, four angles in this shape as well. To identify the sides and angles, we just need to look closely for the sides or the straight lines, and the angles, which are the places where the two lines meet.
Now, let’s use this information to help us complete our worksheet. Let’s read the directions and get started right away.
What shape am I? Read each sentence and check the shape that matches the description. It’s almost like a guessing game! Let’s read the first sentence and see which shape matches the description: “I have three sides and three angles.”
Can you think of a shape with three sides and three angles? When I hear the number three and think of a shape, I immediately think of a triangle. So, let’s draw a triangle to see.
Let’s count the number of sides of my triangle: there are one, two, three sides. If we want to count the number of angles, we just have to look for the places where all the sides meet. Let’s go ahead and look: I see one, two, three angles. So, this matches the definition of three sides and three angles.
Now, let’s quickly check the other shapes to make sure they don’t have three sides and three angles. In my rhombus, there are one, two, three, four sides, so that can’t be correct. In my rectangle, there are also one, two, three, four sides, so that can’t be correct either.
To review, a shape with three sides and three angles is a triangle.
Let’s read the next description: “I have no angles.” Hmm, can you think of a shape that has no angles? I’ll give you a hint: this shape also has no sides.
If we look at our three shapes—a circle, a hexagon, and a trapezoid—it’s easy to tell that the only shape with no sides is our circle, because our hexagon has one, two, three, four, five, six sides, and our trapezoid has one, two, three, four sides. So, the only shape with no angles is our circle.
Let’s read the next description: “I have six sides and six angles.” Can you think of a shape that has six sides and six angles? I remember saying a hexagon! Let’s draw a hexagon just to be sure.
As I draw my hexagon, I want to carefully count the sides. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four, five, six. There are six sides of my hexagon. Now, let’s just count the angles to be sure: there’s one, two, three, four, five, and six angles on my hexagon. So, this must be a hexagon because I know a pentagon has one, two, three, four, five sides, and our triangle only has three sides.
So, a hexagon is a shape with six sides and six angles.
Finally, our last description states: “I have four equal sides.” Do you know what shape they’re talking about? This one’s kind of tricky because our rectangle has four sides, and our trapezoid also has four sides. Our last shape, the square, has four sides, but it’s a little different than the other two shapes.
Do you know why? It’s because it has four equal sides; each side is the same length, and that’s what makes a square a square.
So, a shape with four equal sides is a square.
Remember, boys and girls, a side is just like a straight line in your shape, and an angle is where two straight lines meet and form an angle right there in the corner.
