- Study these pairs: the circle → el círculo; the square → el cuadrado; the triangle → el triángulo; the rectangle → el rectángulo; the oval → el óvalo; the star → la estrella.
- Read the Spanish word together with el or la, treating the article as part of the vocabulary.
- Match the printed word to another example of the same shape, even when its size changes.
