Shapes with many sides!
Two-dimensional Shapes (2D)
• These shapes are flat and can only be drawn on paper.
• They have two dimensions – length and width.
• They are sometimes called plane shapes.
PolygonsTwo-dimensional shapes
that have sides made from straight lines.
• E.g. triangles squares hexagons
Pentagon• A two-dimensional
shape with five straight sides and five angles.
Hexagon• A two-dimensional
shape with 6 straight sides and 6 angles.
Octagon• A two-dimensional
shape with 8 straight sides and 8 angles.

Lines of Symmetry - Look at these shapes
Can you suggest a rule?
Regular shapes
All the sides are the same length
All the angles are equal
Have the same number of lines ofsymmetry as the number of sides
