Answer 7

Be careful because neither one is really an oval and they are both different shapes (the football and the egg).  An oval is a flat object, like what you would draw on paper.  It is not a 3-D object.

The shapes you are thinking of are ovoid (egg) and ellipsoid (football)  The flat objects of those are oval and ellipse, respectively.

Don't confuse the child too much.  Provide them with a very concrete shape that they can trace with their fingers and say, "This is an ellipse.  This is an oval."  

Then move into recognition:

"Which one is the ellipse?"

"Which ons is the oval?"

Then move into testing to see if they mastered it:

"What is this?  What is this?"

When you're discussing three dimensional objects, then you can look at comparing them to eggs and football.  Until that time, don't get them confused.  This will lead to problems discerning it later in their school career when they have to figure out areas, circumferences, and other mathematical formulas for these shapes.  Make it clear now while they can still use their senses to tell the difference.
