What is Long? What is Round? (Shapes)

Given: We need to sort objects into two groups — Round and Long.

Concept: Round objects are circular/spherical in shape (they have no corners or edges and look like a circle or ball). Long objects are elongated/stretched in shape (they are much longer than they are wide).

Examples of Round objects (draw in the 'Round' box):
- Ball
- Bangle
- Coin
- Orange

Examples of Long objects (draw in the 'Long' box):
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Straw
- Stick

Answer: Draw each object in the correct box based on its shape — round objects (ball, bangle, coin) go in the Round box, and long objects (pencil, ruler, straw) go in the Long box.

Given: We need to match objects that have the same shape.

Concept: Objects that look alike in shape (both round, both long, both box-shaped, both cone-shaped, etc.) are matched together.

Method: Look at each object carefully and find another object in the list that has the same shape.

Examples of matches:
- Ball ↔ Orange (both are round/spherical)
- Pencil ↔ Straw (both are long and cylindrical)
- Box ↔ Book (both are rectangular/cuboid)
- Ice-cream cone ↔ Birthday cap (both are cone-shaped)
- Tin can ↔ Glass (both are cylindrical)

Answer: Draw lines connecting each object to the object with the same shape.

Given: We need to find the object that has the same shape as a ball.

Concept: A ball is round and spherical — it is the same shape from every side, has no flat faces, no corners, and it rolls easily.

Answer: Tick the object that is round and spherical in shape (such as an orange or a globe), because it has the same round shape as a ball.

Given: We need to find the object that has the same shape as a cap (birthday/party cap).

Concept: A birthday cap or party cap is cone-shaped — it is pointed at the top and circular at the bottom.

Answer: Tick the object that is cone-shaped (such as an ice-cream cone or a funnel), because it has the same cone shape as a cap.

Given: We need to find the object that has the same shape as a glass.

Concept: A glass is cylindrical in shape — it is round, hollow, open at the top, and has a flat circular base. It is taller than it is wide.

Answer: Tick the object that is cylindrical in shape (such as a tin can or a drum/dholak), because it has the same cylindrical shape as a glass.

Given: We need to find the object that has the same shape as a matchbox.

Concept: A matchbox is cuboid/rectangular box-shaped — it has flat faces, straight edges, and corners (vertices). It looks like a brick.

Answer: Tick the object that is cuboid/box-shaped (such as a brick, a book, or a shoe box), because it has the same rectangular box shape as a matchbox.

Given: We need to identify whether each object rolls or slides.

Concept:
- Objects that are round or cylindrical (curved surfaces) can ROLL — they move by turning over and over. Write 'R'.
- Objects that are flat and have smooth surfaces SLIDE — they move by gliding along a surface without turning. Write 'S'.

Working:
- Ball → Round shape, curved surface → Rolls → Write R
- Brick/Book → Flat faces, no curved surface → Slides → Write S
- Pencil/Cylinder → Cylindrical shape, curved surface → Rolls → Write R
- Coin → Flat and circular → Slides (when flat) → Write S
- Dholak/Drum → Cylindrical → Rolls → Write R
- Matchbox → Flat rectangular faces → Slides → Write S

Answer: Write 'R' next to round/cylindrical objects and 'S' next to flat/box-shaped objects.
