In this unit a measurement strand objective concerning finding areas of shapes is explored, then a link to the algebra strand is explored.

In this unit, students will learn to investigate polygons using an instrument of their own construction. They should be able to prove the general formula for the number of degrees in any polygon (including a triangle). Finally they will investigate an interesting locus problem related to polygons.

In this unit we discover how to use rulers and compasses to construct perpendicular lines and to bisect angles. These constructions are used to make a variety of polygons.
