Talk:Angles of Polygons and Regular Tessellations Exploration

From EscherMath

The reason for explaining what "exact divisor" means is that that phrase usually denotes an integer--which is not what is meant here.

I've made a lot of changes to this exploration, though it's mostly in the wording. I tried to give a little more in the way of direct instructions to do stuff. I changed the objective wording. I cut it into two parts (because I plan to stop and talk after they finish part I). I put the math into math mode. I took out wording involving "we". I turned the table on its side, replaced the images with svg. I also dropped the time from 45min to 35min. That one is just optimism - I've never used this exploration before. I just know that if it really is 45 minutes long, the students will be upset when I give it to them with 30 minutes left in class :-) Please compare the changes from the previous version to my first edit, and see if you like/agree with them. All changes after the first big one are minor stuff with formatting.

Oh, and I changed "exact divisor" to "divides evenly into", and hopefully Steve will agree that that no longer needs extra explanation.
