Project #4 Geometry

The Interactive Activity was named Creating Polygons.

The URL is: http://illuminations.nctm.org/Activity.aspx?id=6632

Performance Objective #1:

(8) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process
standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and threedimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The
student is expected to:
(A) Create two-dimensional shapes based on given attributes, including
number of sides and vertices;
This interactive activity will be the perfect fit after a lesson over classifying
different types shapes according to the number of sides, angles or faces,
edges, and vertices.
Performance Objective #2:
(8) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process
standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and threedimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The
student is expected to:
(C) Classify and sort polygons with 12 or fewer sides according to attributes,
including identifying the number of sides and number of vertices;
The many different polygons can become difficult for children to pinpoints at
times, and this interactive activity is the perfect tool to use to reinforce
classifying polygons with up to 12 sides.
