 * 1) [|Polygon Video]
 * This video explains polygons. It gives a pretty in depth explanation of triangles and quadrilaterals. The video explains how the polygons got their names and how the different characteristics of the polygon determine the type of shape it is.
 * It's a good tool in the classroom because it is easy to understand and it is a video that the students would enjoy watching.
 * 1) [|Properies of Polygons]
 * This website is a great tool because it gives an accurate description of the properties of polygons. It explains what a polygon is, the types of polygons, polygon formulas, the parts of polygons, special polygons, and the names of polygons.
 * 1) [|Transformations]
 * This link explains transformations. It is a short and simple site. It gives a short but accurate description of transformations. It has images displaying each transformation and has links that further explain the transformations.
 * 1) [|Similar vs. Congruent]
 * This website is a good educational study tool. It test a students' knowledge on similar vs. congruent polygons. It shows you two polygons and you have to choose similar, congruent, or neither. It is good practice for students who need extra help with similar and congruent polygons.
 * 1) [|Interior and Exterior Angles]
 * This site has a great layout; it's a fun site to visit. It explains interior and exterior angles of polygons. It tells you how to find the angles of a polygon based on how many sides it has.
 * 1) [|Sum of Angles Video]
 * This video is a complete lesson on sum of interior angles of a polygon. The video teaches students the definitions of vertices and diagonals of polygons. It also teaches the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon.
 * 1) [|Transformations]
 * This is a video that explain transformations. The video is of a teacher presenting a lesson on transformations. He does a good job of explaining and it is a good video for students who are auditory learners and like to see the lesson as opposed to reading notes.
 * 1) [|Area and Perimeter]
 * This link gives a very good description on how to find the area and perimeter of polygon.
