Stars and Exploration of Numbers

DowaLoad APG from the familymath.org web site (Math Club and SeeLogo) and create different stars using STARSK command. For example STARSK 2 5 makes this picture:



Once you make a picture explore it.

Try to draw it on paper
Check if you can draw it without lifting your pencil of the paper
You can also color it both on paper and on the computer in a beautiful way 9you can use the Fill Tool)

Try to find a pattern and do some mathematical exploration. What are the numbers after the command starsk that will make a shape that you can draw without lifting the pencil off the paper?

Write your theory in the blog.
