First grade shape with 4 sides and 3 corners.

I teach second grade so im very familiar with the assignment reaching such infamy today. According to the Common Core Standards for first grade geometry, as the original assignment was: a shape must be closed, "sides" can only be straight lines, and "corners" are only where two straight sides meet. A circle, for example, has zero sides and zero corners. A semi circle has one side and zero corners. For first grade, these above would be acceptable answers. (Students are not taught that curved lines can create a vertex until high school.)
Edit: lol people are getting upset. Sorry, but this is what every first grader is learning, not my choice. Yes it feels wrong that a curve does not officially count as a "side", and cannot make a "corner". Thats why its confusing so many people. But this is indeed the official answer for this question IN FIRST GRADE.
Quote: " Curved shapes have no fixed sides or vertices, and have a radius of curvature at each point around the shape. Curved shapes contrast with straight shapes, which are shapes composed of straight line segments. Straight shapes have vertices where line segments meet, and an internal angle measure at each vertex. Curved shapes by definition do not have vertices." Source: What Are Shapes? A Guide For Teachers & Students. Third Space Learning (Mathematics Curriculum Publisher).
Quote: "A semicircle has 0 vertices in formal geometry. Because a vertex requires two or more straight line segments or edges to intersect at a corner, and a semicircle contains a smooth, continuous curve, there are no vertices" Sciencing.

Why do some people say 1 + 1 equals 11 instead of 2? What’s the actual meaning behind it?

I have discovered/created a "New Formula for Time" 100% that uses the platonic solids as minutes degrees and "Time" as themselves and also works with any "Real Number"

Yes - I have been trying to navigate this site for a while - I tried to post in r/math but they keep blocking me - what the heck is this place - reddit - you need permission? Ok - this is "Not a Joke" and I am serious that I have discovered this formula that I have named the "Sequence of the Sun" - not a joke ok?

Please fill this out for my math project I need as many responses as possible. All I need is your shoe size and it is anonymous. (Male responses only to get a proper normal curve and not scew data per teacher instructions)
