Why am I learning this?

Mathematicians are not the people who find Maths easy; they are the people who enjoy how mystifying, puzzling and hard it is. Are you a mathematician?

Comment recorded on the 1 August 'Starter of the Day' page by Peter Wright, St Joseph's College:

"Love using the Starter of the Day activities to get the students into Maths mode at the beginning of a lesson. Lots of interesting discussions and questions have arisen out of the activities.
Thanks for such a great resource!"

Comment recorded on the 9 October 'Starter of the Day' page by Mr Jones, Wales:

"I think that having a starter of the day helps improve maths in general. My pupils say they love them!!!"

Learning and understanding Mathematics, at every level, requires learner engagement. Mathematics is not a spectator sport. Sometimes traditional teaching fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of interactive activities and this web site provides many of those. The Go Maths page is an alphabetical list of free activities designed for students in Secondary/High school.

Description of Levels

Close

Close

Level 1 - Name and find the size of the angles in regular polygons.

Level 2 - Find the size of the angles marked with letters in simple diagrams.

Level 3 - A mixture of problems related to the angles in polygons.

Reminders

All Polygons

The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is 360°.

The sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is (180n − 360)°.

Regular Polygons

Each exterior angle of an n-sided regular polygon is 360° ÷ n

Each interior angle of an n-sided regular polygon is 180° − 360° ÷ n

Interior and exterior angles

Interactive animation showing why exterior angles add up to 360°
