Geometry Scavenger Hunt

Geometry Scavenger Hunt

Objective:

You are on an internet scavenger hunt looking for Geometry.  You will complete this project with a partner. You will find photos on the internet of these shapes in the real world and add the photos to your Power Point. At the conclusion of your search, you will present your findings in the form of a power point presentation on your nook.

 Guidelines:

·        Only one geometry object per slide.

·        Objects must be appropriately LABELED!

·        Include the mathematical definition of each object on your slide. (Get definitions from Google)

·        Don’t forget a cover slide with team members’ names. Once complete, you should have seven slides.

·        Each image captured may be used only ONCE. For example, if you get a picture of something that represents a square, you cannot use it again to represent a quadrilateral. You must find a second image.

·        Both partners must participate in the hunt and presentation. This is a team effort!

What to Collect:

You must have SIX items from this list:  

Circle	Square	Rectangle
Trapezoid	Hexagon	Octagon
Quadrilateral	Parallel Lines	Intersecting Lines
Rhombus	Pentagon	Triangle

How Will You Be Graded?

Criteria	Points
Six objects from the list are captured	12
Each object is accurately labeled	6
Each object includes a mathematical definition	6
Presentation includes a cover slide	2
Presentation is organized	2
Presentation is free from spelling and grammatical errors	2
Total Points	/30

1. Watch this Study Jam so you will remember how to put a fraction into simplest form!

2. Click here and click on ADDITION, then click CREATE WORKSHEET. Add the fractions, make sure they are in lowest terms OR simplest form, type your answer, then click get answers. Print your sheet, (remember to print, hold down control and press P) write your name, and bring it to me. Take the quiz a 2nd time before you print if you want to.

3. Play the Food Chain Game.

4. After you have decided as a group what animal you are researching and what your role is, use the links below to begin researching and finding the information for your role.

Top 5 Animal Defenses
10 most bizarre animal defenses
Examples of Animal Adaptations

Or choose any of these animals to watch live!

April 8

1. Watch this Study Jams on Equivalent Fractions

2. Practice equivalent fractions by putting these fractions in "lowest terms".

3. Click CREATE WORKSHEET then reduce the fractions into their lowest, equivalent form. then click GET ANSWERS, print, write your name on the sheet, and bring it to me.. You can take this quiz a 2nd time before you print if you want to.

4.. Fast Math

4. Explore these links on animals, see if you can figure out what kind of frog we have in our classroom. (Soon you will do a scavenger hunt on this page so learn lots!)
