Polygons

Lesson Plan
|
I use this lesson with my Year 7 Maths class towards the end of our topic which looks at Shapes and Angles. It allows the students to integrate Art with their Maths and is very tactile. We create mobiles on Fluro paper which stay nice and bright in our room for some time after the topic is over. This lesson can easily be adapted for primary classes.
