2D and 3D shapes
2.1 Quadrilaterals
2.2 Polygon symmetry
2.3 3D Shapes
2.4 Circumference of a circle
Learning Objectives
• Identify and describe the hierarchy of quadrilaterals
• Understand that the number of sides of a regular
polygon is equal to the number of lines of
symmetry and the order of rotation.
• Understand and use Euler’s formula to connect
number of vertices, faces and edges of 3D shapes.
2.1 Quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals
• A quadrilateral is a 2-dimensional closed shape with four
straight sides.
• All rectangles, squares and rhombi (diamonds) are
parallelograms.
• Other quadrilaterals (non-parallelograms) include
trapeziums, kites and irregular quadrilaterals
Quadrilaterals
• The regular
heptagon has
rotational symmetry
of order seven.
• Through a full turn
(360°), there are
seven positions
where reference
point A would make
the shape look the
same as the original.

Circumference of a
circle
Circumference of circle
• The circumference of a circle is
given by the formula 𝑪 = 𝝅𝑫
• A diameter of a circle is twice as
long as its radius, that is, 𝑫 = 𝟐𝒓.
