๐ Topic Summary
Flat shapes, also known as 2D shapes, are shapes that have only two dimensions: length and width. They lie flat on a surface and don't have any thickness. Learning about flat shapes is important because they are all around us! From the square windows in our houses to the round wheels on our cars, shapes help us understand and describe the world.
