Tongan Language week Mathematics _ Geometrical shapes and patterns showing symmetry

Geometrical Shapes in Tongan Tapa Cloth

Last week we celebrated Tongan Language week. We read dual language texts, learnt the names of geometrical shapes in Tongan, sang tongan songs and drew tongan patterns. 

Tongan patterns with shapes, showing symmetry and other attributes of shapes. 

Can you guess what might an octagon and a heptagon be called in Tongan?
