Check understanding
- Classify a set of polygons as regular or irregular
- Explain that a regular pentagon has 5 equal sides and 5 equal angles
- Identify that a rectangle is irregular (equal angles but not all equal sides) unless it is a square
“If you show your child a stop sign (regular octagon) and a wonky eight-sided shape, can they explain which is regular and which is irregular — and why?”
