2D shapes

Is it a rectangle or a square and what's the difference?

This week in Maths we have been exploring squares and rectangles. We are able to verbalise the differences and similarities in these and have learnt that a square is actually the name we give a special rectangle with equal sides. We have been on shape hunt, found lots of interesting ways to make rectangles and squares with different materials and created shape pictures too.
