Put on your imaginary detective glasses and look around the room right now.
Every single thing you see β from your classroom door to a fluffy cloud outside β is built out of shapes!
Did you know that all shapes belong to two big shape families?
Geometric Shapes
Geometric shapes are neat, precise shapes with clear rules, like circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles.
People use tools like rulers to make them, so we see geometric shapes all over human-made things like buildings, signs, and books.

Look closely at a tree branch or a puffy cloud β do they have straight, ruler-made edges?
Organic Shapes
Organic shapes are curvy, free-form shapes with uneven edges that grow naturally in the living world.
Leaves, wiggly puddles, stones, and sea shells are all organic shapes because no two are ever completely identical.
