Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops?  This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments:

Transum.org/go/?Start=May13

However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below.

Students can use Logo to draw a hexagon using the repeat command.
