I started by counting in ones and I got a 12-gon (that is a 12-sided polygon - if you like long words you can call it a dodecagon).
Then I ruled lines counting round in 2s. And I got .....?
Perhaps you do not need to put the numbers round the circles.
I tried 5s (wow!) and 6s (well!).
Each time I go on drawing lines until I get to the point where I first started.
Then I tried 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, and 11s.
Something interesting was happening.
Why don't you try it? What patterns do you notice emerging?
And what about counting round in 12s?
Which shapes are the same? Can you think of a reason why?
Can you see a connection between the number in which you are counting around the circle and the number of sides in the shape you are making?
We can arrange dots in a similar way to the 5 on a dice and they usually sit quite well into a rectangular shape. How many altogether in this 3 by 5? What happens for other sizes?
Let's say you can only use two different lengths - 2 units and 4 units. Using just these 2 lengths as the edges how many different cuboids can you make?
How many DIFFERENT quadrilaterals can be made by joining the dots on the 8-point circle?
