Definition of Shape
A shape is a geometrical object. The shape of an object tells you how it is arranged in space, not what colour it is, its position or what it is made from.
Shapes can be 2 or 3-dimensional.
Some 2-dimensional shapes are triangles, squares, circles and pentagons.
Some 3-dimensional shapes are tetrahedrons, triangular prisms, pyramids, cubes and spheres.
