The Joy of Following Students Down Unexpected Paths

Abstract

As our students think and reason mathematically, sometimes we need to follow their paths, even if they are different than those we have anticipated they will take. Occasionally these unexpected paths can lead to surprising connections. In this article, the author describes new paths her class took to generalize the sum of the interior angles of convex polygons.
