Fun with Shapes

Chapter Overview

The chapter 'Fun with Shapes' helps Class 3 students explore different shapes and patterns they see around them. It builds foundational concepts of geometry through observations, comparisons, and creativity. Children learn to recognize and differentiate between 2D and 3D shapes, trace lines of symmetry, create patterns, and develop spatial thinking through hands-on learning and visualization.

Important Keywords

  • 2D Shapes: Shapes that have length and width (e.g., square, circle).
  • 3D Shapes: Shapes that have length, width, and height (e.g., cube, sphere).
  • Edges: The lines where two surfaces meet in a 3D shape.
  • Faces: The flat surfaces of a 3D shape.
  • Vertices: The corners of a shape where edges meet.
  • Symmetry: When a shape looks the same on both sides of a dividing line.
  • Pattern: A repeated design or sequence.
