Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to learn:
 about basic geometrical shapes (square, rectangle, circle, triangle,
diamond and semicircle).
 to make or create shapes through paper folding and paper cutting.
 about lines (straight, curved, vertical and horizontal).

 to trace shapes.

Basic Shapes

Let’s learn about some basic shapes. Before doing so, let’s understand these
two terms.

 Corner: A corner in a fi gure is the point where the two straight lines meet.

 Side: A side is a straight line joining two corner points lying adjacent (side
by side) to each other. A side can also be called an edge in a plane fi gure.
