Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Dedicate one or two class periods to creating a class glossary of geometry terms. Many geometry terms also appear in our every day vocabulary, but they have very different meanings. For example, the word gross in geometry is very different than how we use it to describe something yucky or unappealing. Learners work in groups to record a list of these terms, and then each group brings their list together to form a class document.
