2D Geometry Shapes – Polygons Reference Chart
Exploring polygons becomes simple and visual with this clear reference chart. It shows a variety of polygons, from triangles to octagons, and highlights important features such as the number of sides and angles. The chart comes in a full-color version, which works beautifully as a classroom wall display, on a whiteboard, or even for digital projection. A black-and-white version is also included, perfect for student binders, interactive notebooks, or individual study sheets, providing a convenient reference for students at their desks.
This chart is ideal for lessons on 2D shapes and polygon classification. It is especially useful for visual learners who benefit from seeing concepts clearly illustrated, and it can enhance math centers, classroom displays, or study materials. Using the chart helps students gain confidence in recognizing and naming different polygons while reinforcing essential geometry vocabulary. Teachers will also appreciate the time saved, since the chart is ready to print and use immediately. It is best suited for students in grades 3 through 6, but it can also serve as a helpful review for older students. Whether displayed in color on the math wall or printed in black-and-white for student reference, this chart is a flexible and practical addition to any geometry unit or STEM resource collection.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will identify and name regular polygons by their number of sides, from triangle through decagon.
Students will state the interior angle measure associated with each regular polygon shown on the chart.
Teaching tips
Post the chart within student sightline during a polygon-naming lesson, then have students predict each interior angle measure before checking it against the chart.
Use the two included pages together, one displayed at the front of the room and one kept at student desks, so the class shares a common visual reference during independent practice.
Skills covered
Polygon identification — naming six regular polygons by their defining features, from equilateral triangle to regular decagon.
Angle measurement literacy — reading and comparing exact interior angle measures (60° through 144°) tied to each named shape.
Geometric vocabulary — using precise terms such as "equilateral," "regular," and "interior angle" to describe two-dimensional shapes.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Which polygons are covered on this chart?
The chart defines six regular polygons — equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon, regular hexagon, regular octagon, and regular decagon — each with its number of sides and exact interior angle measure.
How can this chart be used in the classroom?
Because the same design is repeated across both included pages, teachers can post one copy as a shared wall reference and give students the other for individual use during geometry lessons.
