In the corresponding box on the chart ("Does it Tessellate?"). If the polygon tessellates, fill the entire piece of paper with the The region around point P without overlapping or leaving gaps. Step three as often as necessary to determine whether the polygon covers The sides of the traced polygon, then trace the polygon again. Your polygon piece around point P so one of its sides connects with one of
Polygons among your group and follow the following directions for each one:Ī plain piece of paper and trace the polygon onto the paper. Have copies of nine regular polygons, paper, and a chart on regular polygons to Group what a polygon is, and write your group's definition below:įirst you will study regular polygons.
