5 Shapes and Patterns
Let�s Recall
We see different things around us. Some are big and some are small.
Let’s Warm-up
Tick (✓) the box below the BIG thing.
A cake is BIG.
An elephant is BIG.
A pastry is small.
A chick is small.
All About Shapes
Mini’s mother baked some cookies.
Mini: Wow, Mummy! These cookies look so different.
Mummy: Yes Mini! I baked them in different shapes and sizes.
ifferent shapes? Different sizes? What are
Flat Shapes
Let us learn about different shapes and sizes.
Here are the cookies of different shapes and sizes.
Different Shapes
Now let us learn the names of different shapes.
Some cookies are BIG and some are small. They are all of different sizes.
Example 1: Name the flat shape that you see in these things.
Trace the shapes. Write the name of the shape in the box.
Same Shapes
Look at some things that have the same shape.
Example 2: Tick (✓) the box for things that have the shape of a CIRCLE.
Colour all the squares.
1 Heena drew this picture.
a Which shapes did she use to make the tree?
b Which shapes did she use to make the roof?
c Which shape has she NOT used?
Straight Lines and Curved lines
Mini goes to a garden. She sees so many trees and plants. There are two paths to walk on.
These paths look different from each other.
Let me tell you how.
Straight lines can be of different types.
Example 3: How many straight lines and curves do you see in these shapes? Join the dots to take the cars to the parking lot.
3 straight lines 2 straight lines, 1 curve
Write S if the line is straight. Write C if the line is curved. Name the striaght lines as standing, sleeping or slanting. 3
Circle the shapes that are made ONLY with STRAIGHT lines.

Critical Thinking
1 Read the letters in the word FUNNY. Write T for True and F for False.
a U is a curve.
b Y has a curved line.
c F has 1 standing line and 2 sleeping lines.
d N has 1 curved line and 2 straight lines.
Shapes Around Us
Milli is playing with her blocks.
Milli: I have blocks in so many shapes. I can see squares and rectangles in some of the blocks and triangles in some.
Solid Shapes
These are some of the blocks. We can hold them. They have a shape. These are called solid shapes.
Solid Shapes
Sorting Solid Shapes
Many things around us have the same solid shapes.
Example 4: Cross out () the odd solid shape.

2
Colour the solid shape that matches the shape of the object.
Rolling and Sliding
Some solid shapes roll and some slide.
A sphere can roll.
A cube and a cuboid can slide.
A cylinder can both roll and slide. Sliding Rolling
Remember!
Things around us are solid shapes. We can touch and hold them.
Tick (✓) if the object will roll, slide or both roll and slide. Name the shape of the things.
Look at the picture. Write the shapes of the things marked.
c
Sam and Sia are playing in the park. They share turns to play on the slide. Then, they put objects on the slide. Tick () the ones that are rolling down.
b Have you seen a matchbox? Does it slide or roll? Challenge
1 Look at the picture. Answer the questions.
a Look at the fallen cone. Will it roll or slide?
Patterns
Milli’s mother buys a sari.
Milli: Maa, this is pretty.
Maa: Yes, Milli. I really like the pattern on it.
Milli: What is a pattern?
Repeating Patterns
Look at the saree again. Can you see that some repeating shapes on this saree?
We can see red and blue triangles repeating as red, blue, red, blue. Let us look at one more pattern.
Maa: Milli, we see patterns in lots of other things also like: animal skin (cat, zebra), leaves, a beehive, etc.
Remember!
Patterns are formed with repeated shapes or colours.
Milli: Maa, I got it. Guess what? I can make a pattern using actions like clapping and snapping my fingers.
Example 5: Extend the given pattern. Think and Tell Do you think day and night have a pattern?
Here, the number of triangles is increasing as 1 triangle, 2 triangles, 3 triangles, 4 triangles, 5 triangles and 6 triangles.
Did You Know?
We can use thumb prints to create pictures of different animals, birds and flowers.

the next shapes to complete the patterns.
Milli knows how to make patterns now. She has some number cards. She is trying to make a pattern with them. See how she places the cards.
The numbers 1 and 2 are repeating. This is a number pattern. Let us see some examples of number patterns.
Example 6: Which is the correct number pattern?
Pattern B is the

a 4, 5, 4, 4, 4, 5 b 33, 32, 31, 30 c 3, 6, 9, 12, 15
Circle the next number in the pattern.
Fill in the next 2 numbers in the pattern.

A Seven-Spotted Ladybird Beetle is a beetle that has 7 spots. Look at the pattern. Fill in the blanks.
c 7 spots 14 spots 21 spots
Challenge
1 Sarah created a number pattern with 0 and 1 as 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1. Create 2 number patterns with the numbers 2 and 3.
Points to Remember
• Circles, squares, rectangles and triangles are flat shapes.
• Things can have the same shape but different sizes.
• Cubes, cuboids, spheres, cones and cylinders are solid shapes.
• Solid shapes can roll or slide. A cylinder can both roll and slide.
• A pattern will have shapes or colours that repeat.
• Patterns in numbers can be seen if we repeat numbers in an order, add or subtract the same number again and again.
Drawing Shapes!
Aim: To create patterns with vegetable prints.
Things required: Different vegetables, white drawing paper, string, water colours
Setting: Groups of 5
What to do?
1 Take two vegetables and cut them into slices.
2 Dip the slices in colour and make patterns on the paper.
3 Use these vegetables stamps to make rangoli decorations for your colony or community celebrations. Experiential Learning &
