Shapes

Learning about shapes sets the stage for understanding geometry. As your seven-year-old's shape vocabulary grows, so does their math knowledge. At this age, they can often explore more complex 2D shapes like parallelograms and octagons, and new 3D shapes like square pyramids and triangular prisms. Encourage your child to use mathematical language, such as "rhombus" instead of "diamond" or "angles" instead of "corners."
