Intentional Teaching Considerations: Details & Rules with Polygons Most elementary students might be able to draw and identify simple triangles and squares, but they often can’t explain why a polygon is different from other geometric shapes. By taking a deeper look at the Details and Rules that define polygons, students will be able to identify more complex forms of polygons in the world around them. Teachers can introduce the concept of polygons through inquiry using examples and non-examples. This activity will enable students to construct their ownSAMPLE understanding of the rules that differentiate polygons from other geometric shapes. 60 Deep and Complex Look Books by Paula Wilkes and Mark Szymanski © J Taylor Education, 2006, 2008 LEVEL ONE SAMPLE PAGES A Deep and Complex Look at Literature: Lon Po Po Big Idea What is the main idea of this topic?

Viewing both stories through Main Ideas allows students to see how the global themes remain the same despite the differences in details. The Unanswered Questions might relate to both stories, such as “Why would a wolf want to hurt children,” while another question might be specific to Lon Po Po, “Is Po Po a common nickname for Grandmother in China?” A cross-cultural study using children's literature and the icon of UnansweredSAMPLE Questions can encourage students to develop more curious minds. 62 Deep and Complex Look Books by Paula Wilkes and Mark Szymanski © J Taylor Education, 2006, 2008 LEVEL TWO SAMPLE PAGES A Deep and Complex Look at Geometry: Angles Big Idea What summary statement explains this topic?

  • CONVERGENCE of the RATIO of PERIMETER of a REGULAR POLYGON to the LENGTH of ITS LONGEST DIAGONAL AS the NUMBER of SIDES of POLYGON APPROACHES to ∞ Pawan Kumar B.K
    CONVERGENCE OF THE RATIO OF PERIMETER OF A REGULAR POLYGON TO THE LENGTH OF ITS LONGEST DIAGONAL AS THE NUMBER OF SIDES OF POLYGON APPROACHES TO ∞ Pawan Kumar B.K. Kathmandu, Nepal Corresponding to: Pawan Kumar B.K., email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Regular polygons are planar geometric structures that are used to a great extent in mathematics, engineering and physics. For all size of a regular polygon, the ratio of perimeter to the longest diagonal length is always constant and converges to the value of 휋 as the number of sides of the polygon approaches to ∞. The purpose of this paper is to introduce Bishwakarma Ratio Formulas through mathematical explanations. The Bishwakarma Ratio Formulae calculate the ratio of perimeter of regular polygon to the longest diagonal length for all possible regular polygons. These ratios are called Bishwakarma Ratios- often denoted by short term BK ratios- as they have been obtained via Bishwakarma Ratio Formulae. The result has been shown to be valid by actually calculating the ratio for each polygon by using corresponding formula and geometrical reasoning. Computational calculations of the ratios have also been presented upto 30 and 50 significant figures to validate the convergence. Keywords: Regular Polygon, limit, 휋, convergence INTRODUCTION A regular polygon is a planar geometrical structure with equal sides and equal angles. For a 푛(푛−3) regular polygon of 푛 sides there are diagonals. Each angle of a regular polygon of n sides 2 푛−2 is given by ( ) 180° while the sum of interior angles is (푛 − 2)180°. The angle made at the 푛 center of any polygon by lines from any two consecutive vertices (center angle) of a polygon of 360° sides 푛 is given by .

  • Name: Date: WORKSHEET : Polygons a Polygon Is a Closed, Planar
    Name: Date: WORKSHEET : Polygons A polygon is a closed, planar shape connected by straight lines. Polygons can be categorized as regular or irregular. Polygons can be categorized as convex or concave. Polygons can be categorized as simple or complex. WORKSHEET : Polygons Interior/Exterior Angles ANSWERS : Polygons Interior/Exterior Angles KEY CONCEPTS: Definition of polygons and interior/exterior angle measures. 1. A polygon is a closed, planar shape connected by straight lines. a. Not closed ≠ polygon b. Not all straight lines ≠ polygon c. Planar means it is 2 dimensional; on an x-y coordinate plane for example d. Definitions of terms i. Vertex = The point where two lines meet on the polygon ii. Interior Angle = The angle inside the polygon between adjacent sides iii. Exterior Angle = If a line is extended from one side of the polygon past the vertex then the exterior angle is the angle between that line and the next adjacent side. 2. Names of polygons depend on the number of sides or interior angles (the same value). The smallest number of sides for a two dimensional polygon is 3. As n approaches infinity the polygon approaches a circle, but a circle is not a polygon due to its curves. Number of Sides, (n) Polygon Name 3 Triangle 4 Quadrilateral 5 Pentagon 6 Hexagon 7 Septagon(or Heptagon) 8 Octagon 10 Decagon 12 Dodecagon 15 Pentadecagon 100 Hecatgon 1,000 Chiliagon 1,000,000 Megagon 10100 Googolgon 3.

  • Polygon from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia for Other Uses, See Polygon (Disambiguation)
    Polygon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Polygon (disambiguation). In elementary geometry, a polygon /ˈpɒlɪɡɒn/ is a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain or circuit. These segments are called its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. An n-gon is a polygon with n sides. A polygon is a 2-dimensional example of the more general polytope in any number of dimensions. Some polygons of different kinds: open (excluding its The basic geometrical notion of a polygon has been adapted in various ways to suit particular purposes. boundary), bounding circuit only (ignoring its interior), Mathematicians are often concerned only with the bounding closed polygonal chain and with simple closed (both), and self-intersecting with varying polygons which do not self-intersect, and they often define a polygon accordingly. A polygonal boundary may densities of different regions. be allowed to intersect itself, creating star polygons. Geometrically two edges meeting at a corner are required to form an angle that is not straight (180°); otherwise, the line segments may be considered parts of a single edge; however mathematically, such corners may sometimes be allowed. These and other generalizations of polygons are described below. Contents 1 Etymology 2 Classification 2.1 Number of sides 2.2 Convexity and non-convexity 2.3 Equality

    INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS The math behind DragonBox Elements - explore the elements of geometry - Includes exercises and topics for discussion GeneralDragonBox information Elements Teaches geometry through play and exploration DragonBox Elements is a game which was designed to teach the big ideas of Euclidian geometry through play and exploration. It is also an excellent way to help students enjoy doing proofs and play with geometric concepts from their curriculum. The best way to use the game is to discover and discuss the game with the students and embark on a learning journey that will challenge how they experience geometry. In this document, we provide some general information about DragonBox Elements, more about the math behind the game, and suggestions for exercises and useful topics for discussion. It is important that after each new rule or chapter, the students describe what they have experienced in the game in their own words and discuss with each other. By relating the discussion to the curriculum, we create a link between the game and the math behind which gives a great learning effect. Content of the game Chapters Figures and controls ---- ---- ---- DragonBox Elements includes The levels are organized in 7 The player will meet different more than 110 different levels different chapters.
