Activity Overview

A Frayer Model is a graphic organizer divided into five parts. The word or concept is in the middle, and there are four boxes around that word or concept. Typically, they include a section for examples and non examples of the concept. In this activity, students will create a frayer model for polygons. This can be done individually or as a group, where students help fill in each section. They will review what a polygon is, what it isn't, and show examples from the "Shapes" category of the Storyboard Creator! It can even be modified and printed for students to fill out with a pencil.
