This math topic focuses on identifying the names of polygons based on the number of sides they have. It starts with fundamental shapes in geometry, asking students to match names such as hexagon, pentagon, octagon, triangle, and quadrilateral to the corresponding shapes with 6, 5, 8, 3, and 4 sides respectively. This forms part of an introduction to geometry basics, helping students familiarize themselves with the vocabulary related to basic polygonal shapes. Each question provides a choice between two possible names for the shapes, reinforcing learning through selection.
