Monday: Count sides and angles

Ferris the Fox unfolds his trail map. His bushy tail swishes.

"Every sign on this trail has a shape," he says.

Bennie the Bear looks at the first sign.

"It has three sides and three corners," says Bennie.

"Then it is a triangle!" says Ferris. "Let us find the next one."

A side is a straight line on a shape.

An angle is a corner where two sides meet.

Ferris counts the sides of this triangle. 1, 2, 3.

It has 3 sides and 3 angles.
