Seeing this online drag-and-drop version created for the Octagon Loops investigation from Transum Mathematics reminded me of this task from many years ago!
Some further resources on the task:
The legend, Don Steward, wrote this post, regular octagon loops.
Nrich used Don Steward’s ideas to create the task, Regular hexagon loops.
Nrich used Don Steward’s ideas to create the task, Regular hexagon loops. As always with Nrich we can see some student work on this task.
From Cambridge Mathematics, we have Loopy Polygons, which includes clear instructions, an animation, and a selection of manipulatives for investigating various polygons.
