Learning outcomes
| # | Title |
|---|---|
| 1 | A regular polygon has sides that are all the same length and interior angles that are all equal in size |
| 2 | Perimeter is the distance around the edge of a two-dimensional shape |
| 3 | Different shapes can have the same perimeter |
| 4 | Perimeter is measured in units of length and can be found by counting units |
| 5 | Perimeter can be calculated by adding together the side lengths of a 2D shape |
| 6 | The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated by addition and multiplication |
| 7 | Unknown side lengths can be calculated from perimeter and known side lengths |
| 8 | The perimeter of a regular polygon can be calculated by multiplication |
| 9 | The side length of a regular polygon can be calculated by division where the perimeter is known |
