For example
A starfish and a sea shell each have their own shape.
In Grade 1
Children feel and sort real objects by shape before they meet flat drawings of the same shapes.
Watch out for
Children often think a shape changes when it is turned or made bigger. A triangle turned on its point is still a triangle.
Say it at home
Ask what shape things are while you cook, and turn them round to check the name still fits.
