Identifying Polygons

Drag the figures on the page and answer the following questions about each one.
  1. What is it?
  2. How do you know this? What characteristics make you pick this answer? Be specific!
  3. What other figures can it be? List as many as you can.
  4. What figures can't it be? List as many as you can. (List only figures that have the same number of sides as the original figure - I know that a triangle can't ever be a parallelogram, for example.)
