I have a question about a project I will be starting shortly with
5th graders using MW EX to create a tessellation using simple polygons. It
is a question regarding teaching about angles. When programming a turtle to
create a triangle (for example) the relevant angle is the amount the turtle
has to turn to create the triangle (the outside angle). However when math
is taught, usually the focus is on the internal angle. As well one way to
determine whether a shape can tessellate is to measure whether the place where
the tessellated shapes meet equals 360 degrees. If anyone can help me think
this through that would be great. If it is not clear what it is that I am
asking, please let me know.
