Multiple Choice

What is polygon?

• Polygon is all 2D shapes.

• Polygon is 2D shapes with all straight sides.

• Polygon is 2D shapes with all curved sides.

Polygon

A flat shape (two-dimensional) with straight sides.

Open Ended

Which shapes below is not a polygon?

Semi circle is not a polygon because it has 1 curved side.

• Sphere

Open Ended

What solid does this object look like?

Open Ended

How many faces, vertices and edges does this object have?

This object looks like a cuboid/ rectangular prism.

It has 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges.

Open Ended

What solid does this object look like?

Open Ended

How many faces, vertices and edges does this object have?

This object looks like a cone.

Nets

Net is a figure which can be folded to form a solid.

Here is the nets of cube

The number of parts in the cube is the same as the number of faces on the cube.

Multiple Select

Choose all correct nets of a cube below:

Symmetry

When two or more parts are identical/same after a flip, slide or turn.

This is an equilateral triangle (same sides).

It has 3 line of symmetries.

This is an irregular hexagon.

It has no line of symmetry.

This is a trapezoid.

It has 1 line of symmetry.

Multiple Choice

Which one is the correct pattern to complete the pattern below it is identical?

It has 1 line of symmetry.

It has 1 line of symmetry.

It has 2 line of symmetry.
