In a world of shapes and lines,
There's a shape that truly shines,
A dodecagon, twelve sides,
With edges sharp as knives.

Each face of this shape is flat,
And they all connect like that,
To form a disk in the end,
A dimension we can comprehend.

But there's more to this shape, you see,
It has a focus just like me,
A point in the center there,
That's where all the lines converge and share.

And when we talk about its size,
We use the discriminant to advise,
How much space it can envelope,
And how much it can scope and hope.

So kids, remember this shape,
With its twelve sides and sharp edge tape,
It's a beauty to behold,
And a story to be told.

Reflections

1. What is a dodecagon and how many sides does it have?
2. Can you explain what an edge and a face are in relation to the dodecagon shape?
3. Where is the focus point of the dodecagon and what does it represent?
4. How can we use the discriminant to determine the size of the dodecagon?
5. Can you think of any real-life objects or examples that resemble the dodecagon shape?
