Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about . Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Identify coordinates for a polygon with specific properties and justifying using the coordinates and their relationships.
Vertices are the intersection of an x and y coordinate.
Given dimensions for a polygon, plot possible locations and draw on a coordinate plane.
Use distance on a coordinate grid overlaid with a map to solve problems.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What are some popular polygons and what are their properties? What is the notation for congruent segments on a diagram? What are congruent segments?
After the Game
How were you able to determine where to graph the vertices? How did you know how long to make each side of the shape since you started with the coordinates of only one point?
