Another nice lesson idea from n-rich, this link is on the topic of angles and polygons. I like these lesson ideas as they teach the topic in an interesting and different way and come with a full set of teacher notes, hints for pupils and solutions for ease of planning. Would make an ideal investigation lesson as a paired or group work task.
