Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about rectangles. Rectangles are shapes that have four sides and four corners. What’s cool about rectangles is that the opposite sides are always parallel, which means they run alongside each other and never meet.
Rectangles usually have two longer sides and two shorter sides. This makes them easy to spot! A common example of a rectangle you might see every day is a door. Next time you look at a door, notice how its shape matches what we’ve learned about rectangles.
Now that you know about rectangles, you can start spotting them all around you. Have fun exploring and discovering rectangles in your world!
