Geometry Journey

Take geometry into the real world! You'll find just about everything you need for a fun group project reinforcing terms such as: quadrilateral, parallel lines, hexagon, circumference, vertex, acute angle, polygon, and many more. Of course, you can easily add to this 21-term list, which is included in two formats: with definitions and without. Introduce kids to shapes in the world using the attached slide show featuring architectural elements. What geometric concepts do they see? There is an interactive quiz as well as games to reinforce the terms. Then, groups take photographs around campus displaying as many of the words as possible. They create a slide show and present it to the class. If you don't have PhotoStory, PowerPoint will work just fine.
