Interior and Exterior Angles

 

Students use the properties of regular polygons to calculate interior and exterior angles.

As learning progresses, students are challenged to solve complex problems involving overlapping polygons.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to calculate an exterior angle for a regular polygon.
  • Most students should be able to calculate an interior and exterior angle for a regular polygon.
  • Some students should be able to calculate the number of sides for a regular polygon when given its interior or exterior angle.
