Compare sides and vertices
Key notes:
- Vertices is the word for more than one vertex.
- A vertex is where two sides meet.
Learn with an example
🪂Which shape has fewer sides?
- Count the sides of both shapes.
- First, count the sides all around this shape.
________________________________________________________
- Next, count the sides all around this shape.
________________________________________________________
- 3 is less than 6.
- So, this shape has fewer sides.
🪂Which shape has fewer vertices?
- Count the vertices of both shapes.
- First, count the vertices all around this shape.
________________________________________________________
- Next, count the vertices all around this shape.
________________________________________________________
- 3 is less than 4.
- So, this shape has fewer vertices.
