Polygons
In this activity, the students will explore and create a poster design using polygons. The posters will be displayed in the classroom and students will be challenged to name as many of them as they can. This activity will allow students a tactile, expressive way to learn about polygons.
This hands-on activity will allow for a variety of learning styles. Taking time to have students create their own polygons will help them learn the concept much better than if they just read about it in their textbook. The lesson could be extended to include a homework paper that asked students to draw and label polygons with x amount of sides.
