Things Shapes Do

Let’s look at shapes to get some clues, What they can and cannot do.See those circles curved and round?Rolling freely on the ground.

See those shapes with four sides there?All are rectangles, some being squares.One by one, they stack on the ground,Side on side they don’t fall down.

See the shapes with just three angles?Those are shapes we call triangles.Can they roll, or stack up tall?Can they wedge a door open at all?

Let’s look at shapes to find more clues,What else they can and cannot do.
