Curated OER
Area is Always Flat, But It's Not Always Regular
Students calculate the area of regular and irregular polygons by counting the number of whole an half squares within the polygon. They determine the formula for regular polygons and label the area in square units.

Quadrilaterals and Other Polygons
In this quadrilaterals and other polygons worksheet, learners name various polygons and then decide if each polygon is a quadrilateral. Students also decide is certain polygons regular or irregular.
Curated OER
Area of Polygons
In this math worksheet, students find the area and perimeter of the regular and irregular polygons. They pay attention to use the proper measurements for calculation.
Curated OER
Perimeter All Around
Learners explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.
Curated OER
Regular or Irregular? Polygons
In this polygon worksheet, students determine whether a set of given polygons are irregular or regular. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Interior Angles of Regular Polygons
Students investigate the interior angles of a triangle. In this geometry lesson, students create the formula to calculate the angles inside a triangle. They observe the total sum of a triangles angle on the navigator.
Curated OER
Tessellations
Students learn and review basic geometric terms, definitions, and theory, including regular polygons, lines, angles, points, etc. They make a tessellating stamp and create a repeating work of art.

Computing Perimeters of Rectangles
In this math learning exercise, learners compute the perimeters of rectangles, regular polygons, and irregular polygons. Students also compute the circumferences of four circles, given the radius.
Curated OER
Exploring Areas of Irregular Polygons
Students solve for the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify and differentiate between regular and irregular polygons. They use properties of irregular polygons to solve problems.
