A regular polygon has sides that are all equal and interior (inside) angles that are all equal.

An irregular polygon has sides that are not equal or interior (inside) angles that are not equal.

Quadrilaterals are polygons that have 4 sides.

A polygon is a flat (2D), closed figure made up of straight line segments.

Two lines are parallel if they are straight lines that are always the same (non-zero) distance apart.

Checking understanding of perimeter and area

Maths

In this unit pupils learn how to derive and use the formula for the area of a triangle and trapezium. In the future unit, this knowledge is called upon to find the volume of different prisms and area of composite shapes

In this unit, pupils explored the relationship between perimeter and area. In particular, they considered whether a shape can have the same area and perimeter value
