Which of the following is a
hexagon?
We’re shown four different
shapes. We have to select the one which is
a hexagon. We know that a hexagon is a shape
which has six sides. So we need to count the number of
sides that each of our shapes has. We’re looking for the one with six
sides. Let’s use counters to help us count
the number of sides.
The first shape has one, two,
three, four, five sides. So the first shape is not a
hexagon. The second shape has four
sides. It’s a rectangle, not a
hexagon. Now let’s try the third shape. One, two, three, four, five,
six. This shape is a hexagon because
hexagons have six sides. And the final shape has eight
sides, which is more than six. So we know this isn’t a hexagon
either. We picked the shape which is a
hexagon.
