Drawing, Cutting, and Identifying Shapes

Math Songs by NUMBEROCK

This engaging animated music video introduces students to six fundamental 2D shapes: circle, square, triangle, oval, rectangle, and star. Through a catchy, repetitive song performed by a boy and a crocodile, viewers are guided through a consistent learning process for each shape that involves tracing, drawing, cutting, pasting, spelling, and identifying real-world examples. The video seamlessly blends art, literacy, and geometry into a high-energy narrative set against colorful backgrounds and outer space scenes. Key themes include geometric shape recognition, fine motor skills (tracing, cutting, pasting), and spelling. The video emphasizes the concept that shapes are everywhere, moving from the classroom setting to outer space and back to everyday objects like food, nature, and buildings. It explicitly connects abstract geometric concepts to concrete items students recognize, such as pizza slices, coins, and street signs. For educators, this video is a versatile tool for early childhood classrooms. It supports multi-modal learning by combining visual identification with auditory spelling chants and kinesthetic actions like tracing and cutting. It serves as an excellent hook for lessons on geometry, an interactive spelling practice for math vocabulary, or a guide for an arts and crafts activity centered on shape collages.
