According to the Australian Curriculum Mathematics
(Year 2, ACMMG042), Using digital and non-digital tools, describe and draw
two-dimensional shapes. Here in this video, you will study the 2D shapes. We'll
look at each one individually. The video will take you on tour through the 2D
shapes. Pay attention to the shape names. After viewing the video, you will
understand 2D shapes and their vertices, edges, and faces. If you don't grasp a
term or shape, ask your parents or guardians for help. Please share your findings
in the comments. If necessary, parents or guardians may assist you with typing.

Video transcript of 2D shapes
for kids.
In this video, we will learn the 2D shapes. We are going to
investigate them one by one. We'll take you on a journey to cover
the 2D shapes, the easy ones, and maybe some of the ones you don't
know yet. Some 2D shapes are super easy, and you'll say, "I know
all of these." But then some of the other shapes are a little trickier,
and it's like, I don't know if I've learned this before; wait, can we all
agree that was a very weird sound, and we should probably never,
never record that kind of sound again. Yeah, that was not good.
That's not good for all 2D shapes. Let's go back. Okay, so let's start
here, in the trusty circle. We love the circle, and you have to love the
circle. Circular shapes are cool; this is what a circle looks like; this
is your basic circle. You know this is what a circle looks like; it
looks like a really big dot, doesn't it? Next, look at this shape: this
shape is a triangle. A triangle is very interesting, okay? Here it is
again, the triangle. The triangles are now easy to spot, not just
because you can learn what this shape looks like. You can count the
sides of the shape to discover that the shape is a triangle, so let's
count the sides together as one, two, and three. This shape has three
sides; a triangle has three sides. Not all triangles look the same.
Look at this triangle; we know that it is a triangle because of its
sides. Let's count them together: one, two, and three. There are three
sides. Every triangle has three sides. It looks more squished than the
other triangles, but it's still a triangle. Now here is something very
interesting. Let's say we took the triangle and stretched it out. Is it
still a triangle, right? But if you do the same thing to the circle if
you stretch out that circle, it becomes a different shape and a shape
called an oval. When you stretch out a circle, it becomes an oval,
our third shape. It's an oval again, and an oval is a stretched-out
circle, just like the oval you've seen around. Can you say that with
us, oval, good? Let's look through these three shapes. Again, to
make sure we know what this shape is. Yeah, a triangle; what's this
shape? Do you know, yeah, it's an oval? What's this shape? Yeah, a
circle, okay. What is this shape? Yeah, it's an oval. What is this
shape? It's a triangle. What is this shape, a circle? Now we're going
to get help from our friend Clarence, who will show us the next four
shapes. Okay, the next four shapes have one thing in common: four
sides. Four shapes have four sides, so let's meet these shapes; the
first one is this shape. This shape is a square, and a square is very
common and very popular. The next shape is this one; which shape
do you already know? Yeah, a rectangle, a rectangle? The next shape
is not as popular, and you might not be familiar with it. This shape is
a trapezoid; that's a fun word to say. Can you say trapezoid? The
trapezoid and the final shape are this ones, which is a parallelogram.
Wow, a parallelogram. First, let's look closer at the square; okay, the
square has four sides, of course, but all four sides are the same
length. Okay, it looks like a perfect box. A square has four sides that
are all the same length. Next, we're going to take a closer look at the
rectangle. Yeah, rectangles are pretty cool. They are usually drawn
like stretched-out squares, aren't they? It almost looks like a square
stretched out, but a rectangle is any shape with four sides and four
corners that look like this, and they're usually drawn like this. so,
they can be drawn differently. They're usually drawn like stretched-
out squares. Next, we are going to take a closer look at the trapezoid.
What a cool shape called a trapezoid; two sides are parallel and the
other two are not. That's what makes a trapezoid. You might be
wondering what a trapezoid is. What does "parallel" mean as well?
Let me show you. We'll show you these lines. These lines are
parallel to one another, and parallel lines are the same distance.
They never move towards or away from any point. Let's look at our
trapezoid again. The top and bottom sides are parallel to one another
because, at every point, they're the same distance from each other.
Aren't they? But what makes a trapezoid so unique is looking at
these two sides. These two sides are not parallel to one another.
They're moving apart as you move down the shape. Don't; those
sides are moving away from one another. They are not parallel with
one another. That's what makes this shape a trapezoid, okay?
Clarence, we hope you're ready. The final four-sided shape that we'll
be looking closely at is the parallelogram, and as the name suggests,
it's named after the fact that the opposite sides of the parallelogram
are always parallel to one another. That's what makes a
parallelogram. A parallelogram can be drawn in many ways, but this
is the most popular way to draw a parallelogram. It's almost like a
rectangle with the wind blowing fast towards it, so it's almost
bending backward; it's almost looking like a slanted rectangle. Okay,
that is the way that a parallelogram is usually drawn. So, what shape
do you remember, a square, and what about this shape? Uh-huh, a
rectangle. What about this shape? Uh-huh, it's a parallelogram. And
what about this shape? What's this, uh-huh, a trapezoid? Hey,
Clarence, thanks for helping us with it. Oh, are you brushing your
teeth? Oh, okay, well, good for you. That's awesome. Thanks for
helping, and wow, brushing your teeth is important; this is great. I
didn't know bears brushed their teeth, but that's phenomenal. That's
great, all right. We've got more shapes to cover; here we have to go.
Sorry. Sorry, Clarence, we're going to leave your bathroom now. We
only have three more shapes to show you. The first is the pentagon.
The pentagon has five sides; next is the hexagon. The hexagon has
how many sides? Uh-huh, six sides. A hexagon has six sides, and the
final shape we're showing you today is the octagon. The octagon has
eight sides and eight angles. You've seen these shapes before. Have
you ever played soccer? Yeah, you see two of the shapes in a soccer
ball. The white panels are hexagons. Each white panel is a hexagon,
with six sides for each white panel on a soccer ball, and each black
panel is a pentagon. There are five sides to every black panel on a
soccer ball. A soccer ball is covered in hexagons and pentagons.
You've also seen octagons in real life. Have you ever noticed that a
stop sign is an octagon? Yeah, a stop sign is an octagon. It's a shape
that has eight sides. Hey, a special thumbs up to you. You've done a
great job. You've done so well. We're going to quiz you; yeah, we're
going to. It's quiz time. I hope you're ready; it's quiz time. We'll find
out how many of these shapes you can remember. You know it's
going to be awesome. You're going to do great. You've been paying
attention, okay? What is this shape? If you need to count, the sides
go ahead. What is this shape? Uh-huh, this shape is an octagon.
Good job. Okay, here's the next one. What is this shape? What is this
shape? Do you remember a trapezoid? Yeah, what a fun name to say,
trapezoid. Is this a trapezoid? Two of the sides are parallel to one
another, and the other two sides are not parallel to one another.
Okay, let's try this shape. What is this shape? If you need to count
the sides, what shape is this? Great job! A pentagon has five sides.
Okay, you're doing an excellent job. You're doing a great job. How
about this shape? Okay, how about this shape? What shape is this?
Yeah, a triangle; we know it's a triangle because it has how many
sides? A triangle has three sides, uh-huh. Well done, all right. Let's
give this shape a whirl. What shape is this? What shape is this? It
looks pretty cool, but what shape is it? Do you remember, uh-huh?
A parallelogram is fun to say. Can we say that they form a
parallelogram? Come on, one, you can say it louder than that
parallelogram. Okay, one more time, a parallelogram. Here is the
final shape we're going to quiz you on: what shape can you count on
the sides? What kind of shape is this? Wow, wow, impressive. Yeah,
this is a hexagon. We know it's a hexagon because it has how many
sides? Six sides Yes, wow, very impressive. That is so impressive.
Well done. That's great, and this is a hexagon because it has six
sides.
