Lesson 2 — Loops Draw: The Polygon Formula
⏱ 25–30 minutes 💻 Write Python that draws, right in the browser
💡 A for loop shortens repeated commands, and the turn angle = 360 divided by the number of sides
👨👩👧 Notes for parents
Level: Apprentice — roughly Grade 7 / ages 12–13 Duration: 25–30 minutes Format: Write Python that draws, right in the browser Concept: A for loop shortens repeated commands, and the turn angle = 360 divided by the number of sides
Learning Objective
Kids use a for loop to draw polygons and work out the turn angle from 360/sides themselves.
Do It Together (Parent-Child Co-participation)
Challenge each other: a parent picks a side count (7? 12?) and the child computes the turn angle and draws it within a minute.
