Tips for Parents & Teachers
Go on a "shape hunt" — look for circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles around your home and neighborhood.
Use correct vocabulary: "corners" (vertices) and "sides" (edges) from the start.
Build shapes with toothpicks and clay, or draw them together, to reinforce how sides and corners work.
Ask "how do you know it is a square?" rather than just "what shape is this?" to develop reasoning skills.
