WHAT IS A POLYGON?
THE ANGLES OF A POLYGON
THE AREA OF A POLYGON
POLYGONS AND CIRCLES
TESSELLATING THE PLANE
In this unit we are going to focus on polygons and their properties.
We are going to find out about their angles, area and how they relate to the circumference of a circle in an active way.
To recognise, describe and draw polygons, know their basic characteristics and use the relevant terminology correctly.
To develop geometrical intuition.
To recognise and differentiate between different shapes that can tessellate the plane.
To be aware of and work out the properties of polygons from simple but careful geometric reasoning.
