This math topic introduces learners to the fundamental concept of counting the sides of various 2D geometric shapes, an introductory skill in basic geometry. Each problem, part of a broader unit on geometry basics, provides a visual representation of a shape and asks the student to identify the correct number of sides from a couple of options. It encourages visual recognition and understanding of different polygons ranging from triangles (3 sides) to octagons (8 sides). This topic presents a practical approach to familiarizing students with elementary geometrical figures and their properties.
