What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
A square standing on a corner is still a square. Turning does not change its sides.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: square (question 1). Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- A square: 4 equal sides, 4 square corners
- Turn it
- Still a square
Helping at home
Turn a paper square in your hands. Count its sides and check its corners each time: it stays a square however it sits.
If your kid gets stuck
Count the sides and corners.
