When we move on to 3D shapes we talk about faces, edges and vertices. The properties of 2D shapes refer to their sides and angles. An irregular shape has different length sides and/or interior angles.A regular shape has all sides the same length and all interior angles the same size.A polygon is a 2D shape with straight sides.In primary school, children will learn about the following 2d shapes: polygons, regular and irregular shapes.
