Differentiation

Modifications

Remove some of the shapes, only focusing on two puzzles for students to complete before extending to add more puzzles.

EXTENSIONS

Encourage students to identify and describe the two-dimensional shapes as either 'regular' or 'irregular', e.g. 'This shape is a regular pentagon because it has five equal sides and five equal angles.' Once students have completed puzzles, they can draw an example of each shape and list its attributes.
