I consider star polygons as activities, yes, but they are indeed related to math. They’re really fun, though! You connect the vertices of the polygons in a numbered order with a ruler, and see what kind of shape you get. All make an interesting star-like shape, each having its own pattern to surprise you. In some worksheets below, you can experiment with polygons on your own. Also, they resemble dot-to-dots in a way. Have fun!
You can purchase all of these activities as a single, inexpensive PDF file with even more activities!

Children’s Best Star Polyogns
Price: $0.95
Page Count: 21
This little booklet contains empty polygon pictures so that children can draw and experiment with different star polygon shapes. Star polygons are created by joining the vertices of a regular polygon in a certain order, such as every second vertex or every third vertex.
The booklet contains one-page worksheets for some specific star polygons, such as the nonagram {9/4} (where you connect every fourth vertex of a nonagon) or the heptagram {7/2} (connect every second vertex of a heptagon), and also pages that have several regular polygons per page.
Lastly I have included three pages with a selection of regular polygons for cut-out projects, coloring, measuring, drawing, more star polygon experiments, and so on.
