Geometry Challenge: Polygons WAITLIST

Description:

What in the world as a hexacontatetragon? Learn to name polygons (and add to your vocabulary) using Greek and Latin prefixes. Finding the area of a rectangle is easy. When is it easy to find the area of a pentagon? Or the area of a dodecagon? Employing a variety of representational methods, including Venn diagrams, students explore the naming, categorization and characteristics of familiar and perhaps not-so-familiar polygons. Students are guided to discover facts and patterns regarding convex polygons, their angles and their areas. By inscribing regular polygons in a circle, students explore the idea of the circle as the limiting case of a sequence of regular polygons. Prior to beginning the class, students should be able to identify acute, obtuse and right angles, and be able to measure angles using a protractor.
