Sum of Exterior Angles of Polygons

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This Sum of Exterior Angles of Polygons lesson plan also includes:

Have fun calculating angles for different polygons. The class differentiate the relationship between the interior and exterior angles of polygons. They discuss linear pair as it related the polygons and their angles. This is done as they determine that the interior and exterior angle of a polygon form a linear pair. They will also construct a formula for the measure of one exterior angle of a regular polygon, this will be used to help them discover an alternative form for the typically used formula.
