Everyday Fun With Shapes: Let’s Talk About Math Video

Watch to see how shape awareness develops from birth to 5 years old.

 

Shape awareness is an understanding of:

  • Shape characteristics—noticing what makes each shape different, like knowing that a triangle has three points.
  • Matching—recognizing common elements of shapes and matching pairs (circles, triangles, and squares).
  • Positioning shapes—understanding how shapes fit together and can be combined, like completing a puzzle.
