👧🏽 Meet Anaya! She loves playing with colorful blocks at home. One day, she noticed her blocks have different shapes. Some are round like a circle, some have three sides like a triangle, and some have four sides like a square. Anaya wondered, "Why do these shapes look different? Can I find these shapes around me?"
