Polygons

Today students made polygons with straws and twisty ties. They learned 4 facts about polygons that are always true.
1. Sides of a polygon are all straight.
2. Polygons have corners where two sides meet.
3. The sides meet only at their ends.
4. The sides are connected. They do not have gaps.

Once students created their own polygon, they took a picture of the shape they made in Pic College. Students had to tell why they KNEW the shape they made was indeed a polygon. Check out the sample below. You can also find your child's work on our KidBlog page.
