Starting with basic properties such as angles and sides, students explore deeper geometrical properties of polygons, such as diagonals, interior and exterior angles, and tiling. By Year 5, they apply these properties to perform complex constructions and calculations, understanding how polygons fit into broader mathematical theories and real-life applications.

In Tutero's polygons lesson, students explore the properties and classifications of polygons, including regular and irregular shapes. They learn to calculate the interior and exterior angles, as well as the perimeter and area of various polygons. By engaging in geometric constructions and explorations, students enhance their understanding of shape properties and their applications in mathematics and design.
In polygons, the lesson plan includes enabling prompts to support students in understanding basic polygon properties and classification, complemented by extending prompts for those ready to delve into more advanced topics like interior and exterior angles and tessellations. This approach encourages a thorough exploration of polygonal shapes and their characteristics.

Basics of Polygons
Students begin by identifying simple polygons based on the number of sides and vertices. They learn to classify polygons from triangles to decagons and explore regular vs. irregular polygons. By Year 5, they have a deep understanding of the properties of various polygons and apply this knowledge in geometry and art.
Identifying and Classifying Polygons
Early learning focuses on identifying polygons in natural and built environments. Students classify polygons based on their characteristics such as side lengths, angles, and symmetry. By Year 5, they proficiently identify, classify, and describe polygons, using their knowledge to solve geometric problems and recognise polygons in architecture and design.
