Angles in Polygons

Activity Overview

In this activity, students measure interior angles in convex polygons and find the sum of the angle measures. They make and test a conjecture about the sum of the angle measures in an n-sided polygon. Finally, they measure exterior angles in convex polygons, find their sum, and write a proof for the sum of the exterior angles.
