Lesson Essential Questions:

How do we use attributes of a figure to classify and define polygons? What is the relationship between polygons and their angles?

How does changing the dimensions of a figure affect the perimeter and area? How can we use regular polygons to find the measure of unknown angles in a figure?

How does knowing the attributes of polygons help build similar shapes? In what ways can polygons be combined to build similar shapes?

Lesson Essential Questions:

Math Practice LEQs: How can I communicate my ideas clearly using precise language? How can I use what I already know to make connections while learning something new?

Additional Information & Resources: LogoPaths Activities allow students to work with geometric shapes and angles in ways that are not possible in regular classroom activities. Its tool that provides students an opportunity to explore geometry, patterns, logical thinking and more. Guess My Rule Quick Images: helps to organize and analyze visual images, helps to decompose images of 2D shapes and re-combine them *When discussing attributes they are the properties that can be counted or measured. For Example, sides, angles, vertices, perimeter, area, length, width, etc Math Practices: MP6 Attend to precision use of appropriate vocabulary and accurate units is important for communicating precisely. MP8 Look for an express regularity in repeated reasoning use understandings about 2D attributes to explore and reason about similarity.
