Polygon Angle Sum
Derive the sum of the angles of a polygon by dividing the polygon into triangles and summing their angles. Vary the number of sides and determine how the sum of the angles changes. Dilate the polygon to see that the sum is unchanged.

Really nice visualizations that lead to angle sum formulas
Recommended for: Geometry, GeometryGizmo User from International, unspecified
A great Gizmo that allows students to discover the formula n-2(180) on their own and lead to the "a-ha" moment.
