Big, Small, Turned Around

Know a shape is still that shape when it's big, small, or turned.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child knows a shape is still the same shape when it's bigger, smaller, or turned. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 34

These are all triangles! Big ones, small ones, tall ones, and one turned upside down. They all have 3 sides.
Turn a square on its corner, and it's still a square!
Your turn! Point to the triangle. It's turned upside down, but it still has 3 sides. It's the blue one!
Size and turning don't change a shape. Count the sides and corners to know what it is.
Try it with a grown-up! Cut out a paper triangle. Turn it, flip it. Is it still a triangle?
