Quadrilaterals and Polygons mind maps

Using quadrilaterals and polygons mind maps

These maps organize shape names and properties into branches. Regular Polygons connects shapes from squares to decagons with their numbers of sides and their interior and exterior angles. Maps titled Quadrilaterals look at shapes such as parallelograms, rectangles and rhombuses, including their sides, angles and diagonals.

Make connections as you study

Start with a map that defines a quadrilateral and shows its branches. Use it to become familiar with the shape names, then look for a map that sets out the properties of parallelograms. Follow each branch and explain the property in your own words before checking the map again.

For a different angle on the unit, open Regular Polygons and compare the side and angle information across its branches. If you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the unit page and return to a map when you need a reminder. Browse the maps and pick a branch to follow.
