A ball rolls. A box slides and stacks. A straw is long and a coin is flat. Things have different shapes, and shape tells us what they can do. Tap a word and play with shapes!
Play with it
Round things roll, flat things slide. Tap each word to see what it means, with a fun example.
Learn
Let us try. You roll an orange and a book down a gentle slope. Which one rolls?
The orange is round, so it rolls. The book is flat, so it slides.
Where you'll use it
Flat blocks stack into tall towers; round balls keep rolling away. Knowing shapes helps you build something that does not fall.
Cars, cycles and carts have round wheels so they roll smoothly. Square wheels would only bump and stop!
Flat books lie neatly side by side, while round fruit rolls about. We pack flat things flat and round things in corners.
