Math Problem Statement

Ava sorts the polygons. Write a label for each category.

Solution

In this task, Ava is sorting polygons and assigning labels to each category based on their characteristics. To determine the labels for each group, we observe the properties of the polygons in each outlined section:

  1. Left Group (M, P, T, R):

    • These shapes appear to have fewer than 4 sides or irregular forms (triangles and shapes that are not regular polygons).
  2. Middle Group (L, Q, N):

    • These shapes have exactly 4 sides (quadrilaterals like squares or rectangles).
  3. Right Group (O, S, U):

    • These shapes appear to include shapes with more than 4 sides or complex star-like forms.

Suggested Labels:

  • Left Group: Polygons with less than 4 sides
  • Middle Group: Quadrilaterals
  • Right Group: Polygons with more than 4 sides or star shapes

  1. What are some examples of polygons with less than 4 sides?
  2. Can you explain why squares and rectangles are considered quadrilaterals?
  3. How can we classify polygons with star-like patterns?
  4. What is the importance of side count when classifying polygons?
  5. How are irregular polygons different from regular polygons?

Tip:

To classify polygons more easily, count their sides and determine if they are regular (all sides and angles equal) or irregular.
