Dissecting and forming shapes
Polygons, with their sides and vertices; cutting shapes into pieces and naming them (a rectangle cut from corner to corner gives two right-angled triangles); counting the pieces and the triangles in a figure; and forming shapes from squares, triangles and trapeziums.
Key words
| Chinese | English |
|---|---|
| 多邊形 | polygon |
| 頂點 | vertex |
| 分割 | dissect |
| 拼砌 | form |
| 直角三角形 | right-angled triangle |

Sample questions (in Chinese)
Question 1這個多邊形叫甚麼?
- 三角形
- 七邊形
- 六邊形
- 八邊形
Answer and explanation
答案:A.三角形
為甚麼?數一數,它有 3 條邊,所以是三角形。
Question 2一個五邊形有多少個頂點?
有 個頂點。
Answer and explanation
答案:有 5 個頂點。
為甚麼?五邊形有 5 條邊。多邊形的邊和頂點一樣多,所以也有 5 個頂點。
Question 3把這個平行四邊形沿垂直的虛線剪開,會得到甚麼圖形?
- 1 個直角三角形和 1 個直角梯形
- 2 個正方形
- 2 個直角梯形
- 1 個長方形和 1 個直角三角形
Answer and explanation
答案:A.1 個直角三角形和 1 個直角梯形
為甚麼?把平行四邊形沿垂直的虛線剪開,得到 1 個直角三角形和 1 個直角梯形。
Question 4沿所有虛線把圖形剪開,可以得到多少塊?
可以得到 塊。
Answer and explanation
答案:可以得到 4 塊。
為甚麼?兩條虛線連接相對的角,在中間相交,把正方形分成 4 個三角形。
