Naming, Sorting, and Creating Polygons

Students are learning how to measure and classify angles inside of  polygons, as well as classifying different types of polygons.

Today we divided into partners and attacked a really tough question using geoboards, protractors, dot paper, rulers, and our noggins.

It is so interesting...given a non-stress environment, and a partner, the kids worked so well on this task.  All of the conversations were made up of accountable talk, and everyone stayed on task.  The best part...every group came up with the correct answers!  It was so awesome to see the kids empowered, feeling good about themselves...and learning at the same time!
