Description

This image illustrates two hexagons: one regular and one irregular. A hexagon is a six-sided polygon. In a regular hexagon, all sides and angles are equal, with each interior angle measuring 120 degrees. This symmetry gives it a balanced and uniform appearance.

An irregular hexagon, by contrast, has sides and angles that are not all equal. This lack of uniformity means that the hexagon can take on a variety of shapes, depending on the specific lengths and angles of its sides.

Description

This image shows two octagons: one regular and one irregular. An octagon is an eight-sided polygon. In a regular octagon, all sides and angles are equal, with each interior angle measuring 135 degrees. This regularity gives it a symmetrical and balanced appearance.

An irregular octagon, on the other hand, has sides and angles that are not all equal. This asymmetry means that the octagon can have a variety of shapes, depending on the specific lengths and angles of its sides.

This image illustrates two quadrilaterals: one regular and one irregular. A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. In a regular quadrilateral, such as a square, all sides and angles are equal, with each interior angle measuring 90 degrees. This regularity gives it a symmetrical and balanced appearance.

An irregular quadrilateral, however, has sides and angles that are not all equal. This asymmetry allows the quadrilateral to take on various shapes, depending on the specific lengths and angles of its sides.

Description

This image shows two triangles: one regular and one irregular. A triangle is a three-sided polygon. In a regular triangle, also known as an equilateral triangle, all sides and angles are equal, with each interior angle measuring 60 degrees. This regularity gives it a symmetrical and balanced appearance.

An irregular triangle, however, has sides and angles that are not all equal. This asymmetry allows the triangle to take on various shapes, depending on the specific lengths and angles of its sides.

Description

This image presents another tessellation pattern using basic shapes from pattern blocks. The basic pattern block shapes include equilateral triangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids, hexagons, and parallelograms. They are arranged to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps, demonstrating the principles of tessellation.

Tessellations with pattern blocks help students explore geometric concepts such as symmetry, transformations, and tiling. They provide a visual and interactive way to understand how shapes can be combined to create complex patterns.
