in this video we are going to learn the
2d shapes let's write we are going to
investigate them one by one we're gonna
take you on a journey to discover the 2d
shapes the easy ones and maybe some of
the ones that maybe you don't know yet
some of the 2d shapes are super easy and
you'll be like I know all of these but
then some of the other shapes are wait
can we all agree that was a very weird
sound and we should just probably never
we should never record that kind of
sound again yeah that was that was not
that was not good alright 2d shape okay
so let's start here the trusty circle
wheel of this circle right you've gotta
love circles circles are cool this is
what a circle looks like here it is your
basic circle well this is what a circle
looks like it looks like a really big
dot doesn't it
next let's look at this shape this shape
is a triangle a triangle this is very
interesting okay here it is again the
triangle the triangle now triangles are
easy to spot not just because you can
learn what this shape looks like like
this you can actually count the sides of
the shape to discover that the shape is
a triangle so let's count the sides
together one two three this shape has
three sides a triangle has three sides
not all triangles look the exact same
look at this triangle we know that this
is a triangle because of its sides let's
count them together one two three there
are three sides every triangle has three
sides it just looks more squished than
the other triangle but it's still a
triangle now here is something very
interesting very interesting let's say
we took the triangle and we stretched it
out it's still a triangle right but if
you did the same thing to the circle if
you stretched out that circle it
actually becomes a different shape a
shape called what yeah an oval an oval
when you stretch out a circle it becomes
an oval and that's our third shape here
it is again an oval an oval an oval is a
stretched out circle basically right an
oval you've seen these around right can
you say that with us oval oval
let's look through these three shapes
again just to make sure we really know
them what is this shape yeah a triangle
what's this shape do you know yeah it's
an oval what's this shape yeah a circle
okay what is this shape yeah
it's an oval what is this shape uh-huh
it's a triangle what is this shape yeah
a circle now we're gonna get help from
our friend Clarence who's gonna show us
the next four shapes okay the next four
shapes all have one thing in common they
have four sides four shapes that have
four sides so let's meet these shapes
the first one is this shape this shape
is a square a square a very common very
popular shape the next shape is this
shape what is this shape you already
know yeah a rectangle a rectangle the
next shape is not as popular and you
might not be familiar with it this shape
is a trapezoid oh that's a fun word to
say can you say trapezoid Wow trapezoid
and the final shape is this one which is
a parallelogram Wow parallelogram
first let's look closer at the square
okay
the square has four sides of course but
all four of the sides are the same
length okay so it looks like a perfect
box doesn't it a square a square has
four sides that are all the same length
[Music]
next we're gonna take a closer look at
the rectangle yeah rectangles are pretty
cool they are usually drawn like
stretched out squares aren't they
it almost looks like a square that's
been stretched out but a rectangle is
any shape that has four sides and has
four corners that look like these and
they're usually drawn like this so they
can be drawn differently they're usually
drawn like a stretched-out square
next we are going to take a closer look
at the trapezoid what a cool shape named
trapezoid two of the sides are parallel
to one another and the other two sides
are not that's what makes a trapezoid a
trapezoid you might be wondering what
does parallel mean well let's show you
we'll show you with these lines these
lines are parallel to one another
parallel lines are the same distance
apart at every point they never move
closer or further away let's look at our
trapezoid again the top side and the
bottom side those are parallel to one
another because at every point they're
the same distance from each other aren't
they but what makes a trapezoid so
unique is look at these two sides these
two sides are not parallel to one
another they're actually moving apart as
you move down the shape don't pay
besides are actually moving away from
one another they are not parallel to one
another that's what makes this shape a
trapezoid okay Clarence we hope you're
ready the last four-sided shape that
we're gonna be looking closer at is the
parallelogram and as the name might
suggest it's named after the fact that
the opposite sides of the parallelogram
are always parallel to one another
that's what makes a parallelogram a
parallelogram a parallelogram can be
drawn in many different ways but this is
the most popular way to draw a
parallelogram to draw almost like a
rectangle that is having the wind blow
really fast towards it so it's almost
bending backwards it's almost looking
like a slant
to rectangle that is the way that a
parallelogram is usually drawn okay so
what's this shape do you remember yeah a
square and what about this shape uh-huh
a rectangle
what about this shape uh-huh it's a
parallelogram and what about this shape
what's this
uh-huh a trapezoid hey Clarence thanks
for helping us with
oh are you brushing your teeth oh okay
well good for you that's awesome thanks
for helping and Wow that's it's
important to brush your teeth this is
great I didn't know bears brush their
teeth but that's phenomenal

see there are six sides for each white
panel on a soccer ball and each black
panel is a Pentagon there are five sides
for every black panel on a soccer ball a
soccer ball is covered in hexagons and
pentagons you've also seen octagons in
real life have you ever noticed that a
stop sign is an octagon yeah a stop sign

what shape is this
great job a Pentagon a Pentagon has five
sides great job okay you're doing a
great job you're doing a great job how
about this shape okay how about this
shape what shape is this yeah a triangle
a triangle we know it's a triangle
because it has how many sides uh-huh
three a triangle has three sides well
done all right let's give this shape a
world what shape is this what shape is
this looks pretty cool but what shape is
it
do you remember uh-huh a parallelogram
that one's fun to say too parallelogram
can we say that together a parallelogram

a hexagon because it has how many sides
six sides yes Wow very impressive that
is so impressive well done that's great
this is a hexagon because it has six
sides we had so much fun with you
