Shapes are made of sides and vertices.
Sides are the straights lines on the outside of a shape.
Vertices are the corners where two straight lines meet.
Tip: If you have more than one vertex, write vertices.
How many sides and vertices does a triangle have?
Let's count.
A triangle has 3 sides and 3 vertices.
How about a square?
A square has 4 sides and 4 vertices.
Let's try a hexagon.
How many sides does a hexagon have?
It has 6 sides.
How many vertices does it have?
It also has 6 vertices.
Well done!
A hexagon has 6 sides and 6 vertices.
Great job learning about sides and vertices! 👏
Now, try the practice. It'll help you remember for longer.
