Polygon Patterns

What is a polygon?

• A polygon is a shape with no sides.

• A polygon is a shape with only one side.

• A polygon is a shape with curved sides.

• A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides.

How can you identify repeating patterns in polygons?

• Analyze the angles and side lengths of the polygon for consistent repeating relationships.

• Measure the area of the polygon

• Examine the color of the polygon

• Count the number of vertices in the polygon

Explain how polygons can have growing patterns.

• Polygons can have growing patterns by maintaining a constant number of sides or vertices in each subsequent shape.

• Polygons can have growing patterns by increasing the number of sides or vertices in each subsequent shape.

• Polygons can have growing patterns by decreasing the number of sides or vertices in each subsequent shape.

• Polygons can have growing patterns by changing the color of each shape.

Describe a polygon with a growing pattern.

• A polygon with a growing pattern starts with a circle and adds one more side with each step.

• A polygon with a growing pattern starts with a square and adds one more side with each step.

• A polygon with a growing pattern starts with a triangle and adds one more side with each step.

• A polygon with a growing pattern starts with a pentagon and adds one more side with each step.

How do you differentiate between repeating and growing patterns in polygons?

• Repeating patterns are only found in circles, while growing patterns are exclusive to polygons.

• Repeating patterns have a consistent shape or sequence, while growing patterns involve an increasing or decreasing number of sides.

• Repeating patterns always have an increasing number of sides, while growing patterns have a decreasing number of sides.

• Repeating patterns involve a changing number of sides, while growing patterns have a consistent shape.

Can a polygon have both repeating and growing patterns? Explain.

• Yes

• No

• Rarely

• Sometimes

Identify the repeating pattern in a triangle.

• Identifying the repeating pattern in a triangle involves finding a sequence of numbers or shapes that are consistently repeated within the triangle.

• Identifying the repeating pattern in a triangle involves determining the area of the triangle.

• Identifying the repeating pattern in a triangle involves finding the sum of all angles in the triangle.

• Identifying the repeating pattern in a triangle involves counting the number of sides in each shape.
