Students identify and classify polygons according to various attributes.
They then sort the polygons in Venn Diagrams, according to these attributes. Extensions to fundamental ideas about probability and statistics are also included. This lesson was adapted from an article written by Carol G. Williams, which appeared in the March‑April 1998 edition of Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School.
