Polygons

This resource contains 21 instant maths ideas designed to explore the properties of polygons. Practical activities include creating polygons by folding newspaper, exploring the number of triangles that can be drawn on a triangular dotted grid and creating, naming and classifying quadrilaterals. Students are asked...

Polygons

This video from Teachers TV observes mathematics teacher Jonny Heeley as he inspires a group of gifted and talented Year Six students with an interactive lesson on polygons. Students create isosceles triangles by folding paper and explore their angles before investigating the interior angles of a regular hexagon...

Polygons (Regular)

This interactive excel file has a series of sheets showing nine different regular polygons. Each polygon can be rotated and also shown with or without the circumscribing circle. They can be shown with or without the radii.

These exercises involve joining sets of dots together to complete a given design shown on the same page. The designs are based upon standard tilings. The spaces between the tiles have been developed by joining up vertices, and further points of intersection, to create new tiles. There are also full pages of...

The orderliness and regularities of polyhedra provoke intuitive feelings that they must be significant; however, systematic studies of these three - dimensional figures have been consigned to mathematical treatise. By contrast, Mr Pugh describes polyhedra in visual terms, as a series of interrelated shapes. He...

Models of the regular and semi-regular polyhedral solids have fascinated people for centuries. The Greeks knew the simplest of them. Since then the range of figures has grown; 75 are known...
