Polygons

A polygon is a plane figure that is formed by three or more segments called sides. Each side intersects exactly two other sides at each of its endpoints. Each endpoint is a vertex of the polygon.

My phone is a quadrilateral

This bag is a quadrilateral with small dodecagons (shapes with 12 sides)

This is a foam sponge, also a triangle

The scarf has, like, a ton of snowflakes with even more sides

The "F" on the book is a nonagon 

My "M" room letters are dodecagons

Favorites, Improvements, and Pride

The 3 things I have learned so far are that the long side of a right triangle is called the hypotenuse, I learned complementary and supplementary angles, and how to use a compass to make an equilateral triangle.

My favorite thing from math so far is making lines and triangles using compasses, which were cut out from a cereal box.

To make this class better, I would like to listen to music when we are doing our independent note taking. Music helps me focus, and I'm used to listening to music when I do my homework, study for tests, quizzes, etc.

One thing i'm proud of is the fact that, for the first time ever, I not only have an A in math, but this class is my highest grade overall. Math isn't hard for me anymore and its a whole lot more fun!
