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

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.

Problem solving with angles

In this unit, pupils applied their understanding of angles to solve increasingly complex problems. In the future unit, pupils will use their mathematical reasoning to derive and use various circle theorems. 

In the prior unit, pupils learnt how to identify corresponding, alternate and co-interior angles. In this unit, pupils use their knowledge of these angles to reason through and solve more complicated problems.
