What is a Rectangle? 

“A rectangle is a four-sided shape whose corners are all ninety-degree angles. Each side of a rectangle is the same length as the one opposite to it.“¹ 

To put it simply, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with two opposite sides of equal length and four equal angles. It is a simple shape that is easy to use and is a 2D geometric figure whose shorter side is known as breadth or width and whose longer side is called length.

Examples of Objects That Have a Rectangle Shape

Rectangles can be used in various ways in daily life. Some of the most popular examples are listed below.

• Television and Laptops

Televisions and laptops typically have four sides, with the opposite sides running parallel to one another. Because of this, they are a good example of a typical rectangle-shaped objects used in everyday life. The monitor’s screen and the keyboard are other rectangular objects.

• Tables

If you take a glance at the tables in your home or office, you might notice that they typically have rectangular tops. This is valid for most table types, including dining, computer, study, and workstation tables.

• Doors

Doors are movable barriers with hinges or other moving parts that allow access into and exit from an enclosure. A door’s fundamental and primary function is to offer security by restricting access to the doorway. The length of a door is typically kept longer than its width.² So, doors are an excellent example of an object with a rectangular shape.

• Mobile Phones

Yet another example of a rectangular-shaped object utilized daily is a cell phone or mobile phone. This is true for most mobile gadgets, including phones, smartphones, iPads, etc.

• Drapes 

The majority of drapes are far longer vertically than they are horizontally. The horizontal and vertical sides of a curtain are also parallel. Curtains or drapes, therefore, can serve as a great example of a rectangle-shaped object in the real world.

• Envelope

An envelope is a ubiquitous packaging item typically composed of thin, flat cardboard. It is usually made to cover a piece of mail or a letter before posting. It has a rectangular shape and consists of a flap.

• Bricks

A brick is a kind of material used to construct masonry structures such as walls and pavements. The rectangular shape of a brick helps the brick be more durable and easier to handle.

• Chocolate

Everyone loves chocolate bars, right? Isn’t a bar of chocolate rectangular in shape? Haven’t you noticed? Make sure you do the next time you eat one.

There are countless such examples of rectangles that you can see every day. If you enjoyed reading about the examples of rectangles in the real world, you might also be interested in circles, triangles, pentagons, and golden ratios.

Summary of drawing classes in the II junior group "Draw something rectangular" | Plan-summary of a lesson in drawing (younger group) on the topic:

Abstract of a lesson in drawing

in the II junior group of kindergarten.

Topic: "Draw something rectangular" (drawing with pencils)

Purpose: to exercise children in drawing rectangular objects. Develop the ability to draw with pencils. Teach you to enjoy your drawings, to name what you have drawn. Develop independence and creativity. To educate the ability to consider the drawings of other children and evaluate them.

Preliminary work: a talk about space and the planet we live on; looking at the globe, word game "Where is the rectangle hidden?" (finding rectangular objects in a group and on a walk)

Material: illustrations depicting cheerful, surprised and sad rectangles, an envelope for children's work, a rectangle drawing algorithm, pictures depicting rectangular objects (watches, a bag, a flag, a house, train cars , bus, etc. ), sound recording of birds singing, colored pencils, sheets of paper.

Activity:

Guys, what is the name of the planet we live on? (Earth)

There are many different countries on our planet. Do you know the name of the country we live in? (Russia)

And there is a magical country on our planet. Country of Rectangles. This country is inhabited by funny rectangles (illustration showing a funny rectangle) and all the objects of this country are rectangular in shape. But this morning, the funny rectangles were very surprised (showing an illustration depicting a surprised rectangle), all the objects that surrounded them disappeared somewhere. Rectangles upset (showing an illustration depicting a sad rectangle).

Guys, would you like to help the inhabitants of the country of Rectangles? Let's draw rectangular objects today and send your drawings to the Land of Rectangles in a large envelope so that the inhabitants become cheerful again (showing an illustration of a cheerful rectangle).

Do you remember which objects are rectangular in shape? (children's answers)

And now let's remember how to draw a rectangle correctly. (consideration and joint pronunciation of the rectangle drawing sequence algorithm.).

Try to draw a rectangle on a sheet of paper with your finger.

And to make our drawings very beautiful, we will exercise our fingers.

One, two, three, four, five, - - - consecutive bending of the fingers

Let's count the fingers! one palm

Strong, friendly, - - - flexion and extension of all fingers

All so necessary. palms

On the other hand again:

One, two, three, four, five! - Consistent flexion of the fingers

The second palm

Fingers are bold- flexion and extension of all fingers

Clever, skillful! palms

Think about what you would like to draw. To help you, the inhabitants of the Land of Rectangles have sent you pictures of rectangular objects (on the board are pictures of objects that have a rectangular shape). See what you can draw or draw something else, but be sure to have a rectangular shape.

The inhabitants of the country of rectangles are very fond of listening to birds sing, so I will turn on the birdsong for you, it will help you draw (a recording with birdsong sounds).

Children's work, teacher's individual assistance (during the process of drawing, the teacher must communicate with all the children).

Let's see what you have drawn (children talk about their work if they wish, other children evaluate whether they managed to draw a rectangular object).

Collecting children's work and sealing them in an envelope.
