Drawing polygons

The topic  is a topic under the 6th Grade Math Mission. This exercise uses a coordinate plane graphing utility to create polygons.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Plot the points to create a polygon: This problem provides several points that the student is asked to plot in succession, ultimately creating a polygon.Dp1-too.png

Strategies
Ability to move in the coordinate plane quickly will increase the chances of doing well on this exercise. The utility itself is well-designed and interactive which is helpful.
 * 1) Plotting the points in the order they are provided is the most straightforward way to approach this problem.
 * 2) Sometimes it is necessary to plot numbers that are between integers, but only halfway between integers. For example, sometimes 5.5, but never 5.23.
 * 3) Don't forget to connect the last point back to the beginning point to close up the polygon.
