    Names and properties of polygons

    Lesson presentations and activities

    • This is just anoither effort at getting students to remember facts about polygons. You can use the worksheet with the powerpoint/Notebook files or without. The powerpoint has an embedded video of Disco Stu from the Simpsons but otherwise the two are the same.

    • There are LOADS of angles to find here in this layering of regular polygons. Students start by finding the interior angles they know but soon have to use irregular polygon properties, parallel lines, angles round a point at more. This is differentiated by outcome and should keep even the brightest sparks busy for a while especially trying to find the angles in the white polygons that are not shaded.

      Answers provided to most angles by Sophie Cooper

      Great challenge - engaging.

    • A treasure hunt requiring knowledge of interior and exterior angles. Two sets of questions to dissuade pupils from just following each other! Mistakes on first version now fixed.

    Practice questions, homeworks and assessments

    • Another set of four "spiders" to encourage discussion regarding shapes. It starts with naming polygons, moves on to triangles, quarilaterals and finally 3D shapes.

      Perfect for a quick assessment for Y5 and 6

      Challenging for my young people, some shapes difficult to tell how they'd be named.

    • This is designed as a starter, plenary or a discussion exercise. There are four "explosions" to work through and I have given you the choice of the students working out the shapes from the properties or finding the properties given the shape. This moves from triangles and quadrilaterals to polygons to 3D shapes. Some shapes have the same property so link to the same cloud. This has been designed to check understanding and to give some the opportunity to expand on properties. I have not included all properties of all shapes to naturally generate discussion and differentiation.
