Powerful Polygons
Students scan the classroom to find different common shapes. They listen as the teacher defines polygon and regular polygon. The teacher demonstrates regular polygons via the Internet and the "Math is Fun" web site. Students go outside...
Curated OER
Areas of Polygons
Students calculate the are of regular polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students create polygons on the computer and move it around to create different shapes. They explore the area of different polygons and how they inter-relate.
