Hidden Figures: Shapes Inside Shapes

Trace it over each picture.

How it works

👀 What's going on?

A house drawing hides a triangle in its roof and squares in its windows. Once you start looking, shapes appear tucked inside bigger pictures everywhere.

💡 Here's the trick

Find the shapes hiding inside

Look at the small shape above, then at the pictures. A picture hides that shape if you can trace the shape somewhere inside it. Your job is to find which picture has it.

  1. 1.Fix the small shape in your mind (triangle, square or circle).
  2. 2.Look at each picture and trace its parts.
  3. 3.Pick the picture where you can find the small shape hiding inside.

✍️ Try it

Which hides a triangle — a house, a ball, or a window? The house, because its roof is a triangle. A ball is a circle and a window is made of squares.

⚠️ Watch out

Look at the parts, not just the whole. A house is not a triangle, but a triangle hides inside it as the roof. Trace the shape to be sure.
