1. Example 1

   Is this a square or a pentagon?

   1. A square has 4 straight sides that are all the same length and 4 square corners. A pentagon has 5 straight sides and 5 corners.
   2. Count the sides and corners of this shape: it has 5 straight sides and 5 corners.
   3. So it is a pentagon.

   Answer: pentagon

2. Example 2

   What part of the circle is shaded: a half, a third, or a fourth?

   1. Count the equal parts: the circle is cut into 4 equal parts.
   2. 4 equal parts make the whole, so each part is a fourth — 4 fourths make 1 whole.
   3. 1 part is shaded, so a fourth of the circle is shaded.

   Answer: fourth

3. Example 3
