Small shapes can fit edge to edge.
Together they make one larger shape.
2 triangles fit together. Look at the outside edge: 4 equal sides and 4 square corners. They make a square.
The lines inside show the pieces. The outside edge shows the new shape.
2 triangles can make a square, and they can make a bigger triangle too.
The same pieces can make different shapes.
Small shapes fit together to make a bigger shape. The outside edge names it.
Counting the lines inside as sides.
Only the outside edge counts. Go around it once and count its sides.
3 squares in a row make a ___ — rectangle. 3 squares in a row make a long shape with 4 square corners: a rectangle.
Today we'll put small shapes together to build a bigger shape!
Here's a square. It has four equal sides.
And here's a triangle. It has three sides.
Let's slide the triangle up, onto the top of the square.
It fits perfectly!
Look at the new outline they make together.
It looks like a little house!
Let's count the sides: one, two, three, four, five.
Two small shapes joined to make one bigger shape.
We combined a square and a triangle to make a house. Now you try!
While they climb, your page writes one true line to ask about tonight, and a short note each Sunday.
