Exploring 2D Shapes: Sides and Vertices

The video tutorial introduces 2D shapes, focusing on their sides and vertices. It covers trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, and ovals, explaining how to count their sides and vertices. The tutorial emphasizes the unique properties of each shape, such as the curved line of an oval. The video concludes with a recap of the key concepts learned.
