Shape settings remain in Japanese: 正方形と長方形 — squares and rectangles; 三角形 — triangles; 平行四辺形 — parallelograms; 台形 — trapezoids.

For families and teachers

Begin with rectangles and square units. Add triangle, parallelogram or trapezoid questions when children are ready to explain the appropriate formula.

This English guide uses the original Chicodori Scratch project. Some labels remain in Japanese. You can explore and remix the project on Scratch.
