Connecting Hexagon Constructions and Similarity
Nicole A. Bannister, Benjamin Sinwell · Mathematics Teacher Learning and Teaching PK-12 · 2018
Our favorite lesson helps geometry students learn to use diagrams for thinking and communicating (Sinclair, Pimm and Skelin 2012) and motivates a discussion about similarity. The lesson connects sidewalk chalk-andstring (C&S) constructions of regular hexagons with a dynamic geometry software (DGS) approach.
