Hello, Super Parents.

However, your little one is curious, playful, and bursting with questions.

Now is the perfect time to introduce them to the magical world of Square, 2D Shapes, Flat Shapes, Basic Shapes.

Let’s explore Squares

1. A square is a 2D flat shape.
2. It’s a closed shape made up of straight lines.
3. It has 4 sides and 4 corners (vertices). (We call them right angles like an ‘L’ shape.)
4. All sides of a square are equal.
5. Opposite sides of a square are parallel to each other.

Examples of squares around us are a cheese slice, a carrom board, a photo frame, a tile, a clock, etc.

Why It Matters?

Additionally, learning about shapes such as the square helps kids.

1. Develop visual discrimination
2. Learn problem-solving skills
3. Build spatial awareness
4. Connect mathews to the real world

Let’s explore how you, as a parent, can introduce Square, 2D Shapes, Flat Shapes, Basic Shapes to your child. Additionally, you can use simple activities that build recognition and confidence.

HEART : Storytelling that Sparks Joy and Connection

Kids love stories, especially when the main characters feel just like them. Begin with a heartwarming tale and if you think of this as a tedious job, then Uncle Math Lab is here to help.

Once upon a time, on a sunny day in Samper town, all the kids were playing in the garden, but Squarho was sitting upset and nervous! Would his friends notice the benefit of all four equal sides and four pointy corners of Squarho?’

Through this comic story from our Uncle Math Lab’s mathews comic book collection, kids begin to connect with shapes emotionally and see them as friends with unique personalities.

HAND : Hands-On Activities to Bring Learning to Life

It’s time to build, touch, draw, and do. Hands-on activities make learning real and long-lasting.

1. Square Stamping Art

Use sponge cubes, building blocks, or even potato cuts to stamp square shapes on paper. Let your kid decorate Mr. Square’s house or make square cookies for a pretend picnic.

 

2. Craft & Create : My Square Buddy

Cut a big square from coloured paper. Stick googly eyes, a smile, and arms. Give him a name, Squarho, or anything fun! Let your kid decorate it and proudly share stories with it.

HEAD : Understanding Through Simple Logic

Now that your kid is emotionally connected, let’s explore the ‘thinking’ part, the facts and features of a square in a way their developing minds can grasp.

Use our worksheet from the mathews comic book pack. Ask questions like :

1. Connect mathews to the real world
2. Can you point to the corners?
3. Can you count squares in the given image?

Bonus Learning Tip :

Use phrases kids understand. Instead of right angle, say ‘L-corner or ‘pointy corner. Relate the shape to daily life, See! Your sandwich is shaped like Mr. Squarho!’

Our mathews comic books are more than stories; they are a mathews adventure platform. Each book comes with :

•  Relatable shape characters in colourful story settings.
• Meaningful poster pages to strengthen understanding.
• Maker activities to engage hands and minds.
