Polygons!

Today in maths we talked about polygons as part of geometry.

First we talked about the names and shapes for shapes with 'x' amount of slides and corners.

Many students didn't realise that the first part of the word meant a number (e.g. octogon has 8 sides because oct means 8).

Then we talked about different kinds of triangles, because we all didn't know there were different kinds!

Lastly we talked about parallel and perpendicular lines. Miss Ashley had put tape on the carpet in this way so we could sit in parallel and perpendicular lines.
