A shape is an outline of an object. Shapes can have different properties, such as its number of corners and sides, having straight or curved sides, and being two-dimensional (2D) meaning flat, or three-dimensional (3D) meaning they have depth.  

Maureen Roffey used a range of different shapes in the design of her doll’s house. 

 Some shapes are regular. All sides of a regular shape are equal length, and the angles the sides meet at are the same.

Some shapes have sides of different lengths which may meet at different angles – they are called irregular.
