Building Polygons

This week we set out to find the STRONGEST polygon! Which would it be - the triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, or octagon? Many of us had different predictions...some thought the triangle because it was the smallest, others thought the octagon because it had the most sides for support. Check out Max's thinking below...


Max sketched each polygon as he built it
and wrote a few observations
