The document discusses how technology can be used to teach students about polygons. It provides examples of websites like Kahn Academy, Great Math Teaching Ideas, and Kumon Math that have interactive lessons, videos, and practice problems. Examples are also given of teaching games and activities like Pentominos and Puzzlemaker that keep students engaged. The document encourages using additional online resources for students to learn about polygons outside the classroom, such as Interactive Math Online and math websites on Global School Net and Illuminations.

2.  Today, technology has become a part of
our everyday life. It’s so simple to walk
down the street and see everyone
walking and talking or even texting.
Technology has become so vital to living,
that it is almost necessary to
