2D Shapes Powerpoint

This document defines and provides examples of various 2D shapes. It explains that 2D shapes have only two dimensions of height and width and can be drawn on paper. Common 2D shapes include circles with 1 curved side and no vertices; polygons which have 3 or more straight sides; triangles with 3 sides and 3 vertices; squares with 4 equal sides and 4 vertices; and rectangles with 4 sides and 4 vertices. Everyday examples of 2D shapes are also provided such as CDs, clocks, signs, footballs, bee hive cells, coins, and road signs.
