1 Names & Properties of 2D Shapes
WALT: name & group 2D shapes & identify their properties

2 Regular vs Irregular Shapes
Regular shapes have sides that are all equal in length and inside angles that are all equal. Irregular shapes have sides of any length and angles of any size.

3 POLYGON QUADRILATERAL
A polygon is a flat shape made up of straight lines and it is enclosed.
