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.
