When creating polygons with specific angle measures in Logopaths, students often become confused. Confusion isn't a bad thing - of course - but when using software, there is a tendency to think, "Oh, this program doesn't work correctly" rather than realize that you have a deeper issue on your hands.
So when a student wants to create an equilateral triangle, for example, they may know they need a 60 degree angle, so they program, "rt 60" and are very surprised when they don't end up with what they thought they were going to end up with!
In this video, I try to clear up some of the confusion
