15. Polygons
A polygon is a closed plane figure with straight sides which do not cross each other. We further classify polygons as either convex (no interior reflex angles) or non-convex ( at least one interior angle which is reflex)

21. Quadrilaterals
In groups, discuss the following quadrilaterals (4 sided shapes) focusing on each of the following:
Sides (opposite and adjacent)
Angles
Diagonals and whether they are equal, bisect and the angles they meet at
The shapes are: square, rectangle, trapezium, kite, parallelogram and rhombus.
You will report back to the class…so work carefully!

23. Symmetry Symmetry can be either reflectional or rotational.
Reflectional symmetry means the image has at least one axis of symmetry ( a line which acts as a mirror, so both halves of the image are identical but reflections of each other). This axis of symmetry can be horizontal, vertical, or neither.
Rotational symmetry means that when an object is rotated, at least once in a full rotation it will look exactly the same as the original image. The order of rotational symmetry is how many times in a revolution the shape looks exactly the same.

28. A shape has exactly one axis of symmetry. What could it be?
A shape only has one KIND of symmetry.
Create a ‘non-standard’ plane shape which has rotational
symmetry.
A plane shape has six sides and two 900 angles.
What could it look like?
A shape has some pairs of perpendicular lines and some pairs
of parallel sides. What could it look like?
Create two shapes with different names that each have two pairs
of equal sides. How are they alike? How are they different?
