Zahra is a beekeeper near Melfort. The cells in a honeycomb are<br />

hexagons. This makes it possible for the bees to pack a lot of<br />

honey into a small space. It also gives the honeycomb strength.<br />

A. How can you tell if a shape is a hexagon<br />

e.g., It has six straight sides and six vertices.<br />

B. Draw a 2-D shape that is not a hexagon. How is your shape<br />

the same as the hexagon drawn on the honeycomb How is<br />

it different<br />

B. e.g.,<br />

e.g., Same: Both have straight sides.<br />

Different: My shape has three straight sides and three<br />

vertices. The sides and the angles of my shape are not equal.<br />
