Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up 'corners' and 'sides' — first graders often count the same feature twice or skip a corner when tracing around a polygon, especially on hexagons and pentagons.
• Saying a circle has 'one side' or 'one corner' because it looks closed. A circle has zero straight sides and zero corners, which feels strange to six-year-olds.
• Forgetting that a cylinder has two flat faces (the top and bottom circles) but no vertices, and confusing its curved surface with a 'face.'
