Maths in 4JB

In maths this week, we have been exploring polygons and the perimeter of shapes. 

A Polygon is: A two dimentional shape, all the sides are connected with no spaces and all the sides are straight. 

Regular shapes are: shapes where all the sides are equal length and all of the internal angles are the same. E. g  A square, an equilateral triangle, a regular hexagon. 

We used straws of the same length to create regular polygons. Next week we will be using this understanding to work out the perimeter of regular polygons.
