• Paste or glue sticks• Chart paperRead through the plans for this week's three sessionsWeeklong OverviewThis second week builds on students' previous work with polygons in order to makeexplicit the types and characteristics of angles.During Session 1, students will learn to recognize and categorize angles based on theirtype as well as on their measurement in degrees. They will also consider why thelength of the rays or line segments creating a given angle is not relevant to the size ofthe angle itself (which is the measurement in degrees of the interior space between thetwo rays or line segments that form the angle).During Session 2, students building upon their work with angles to inform theirunderstanding of polygons, will explore the interior angle sum of regular and irregulartriangles, which eventually will lead to their finding the interior angle-sum of anypolygon.In Session 3 of the week, students will engage in activities that will help themdiscover why certain polygons (or combinations of polygons) can tessellate (or tile aplane surface) without having any gaps or overlaps.
