The purpose of learning about basic geometric shapes is to see how these figures are really important in every day life, and so that you can convey the information concerning practical applications of geometric shapes. Basic geometric shapes are found basically everywhere because we live in a three-dimensional world. Every object that can be seen or touched has three dimensions that can be measured which are length, width, and height.
Learning about basic geometric shapes such as cubes, prisms, pyramids and cylinders is a part of every primary school curriculum in the United States. Differentiating between shapes is a stepping-stone to learning. Encourage children to use their senses and observe their surroundings more closely as shapes surround them. Shapes can also help develop young children’s math and reading skills.
