In this part of the video, the focus is on explaining the difference between 2D and 3D shapes to children. 2D shapes are flat and cannot be picked up, while 3D shapes are solid and can be held as they have more than two dimensions. A simple exercise is suggested where a child is asked to pick up a square drawn on paper (2D) and then a cube (3D shape) to understand the concept. The video also introduces the cube as a 3D shape with six square faces, edges, and vertices, emphasizing the importance of making new concepts relevant to the child’s environment by finding real-life examples of shapes like cubes around them.
