Remember these!
- A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides.
- Triangles, squares, pentagons and hexagons are polygons.
- Regular polygons have equal sides and angles.
- A square is regular; a rectangle is not.
- Tessellations are patterns of shapes fitting without gaps.
- Geometric patterns appear in art and architecture.
- Exploring shapes strengthens spatial reasoning.
- Polygons are named by their number of sides.
