To begin our study of geometry, we visited the playground to find geometric concepts. Then we took pictures of the playground and annotated the geometric concepts using Skitch.
We searched for the following:
1. Lines
Line segments
Parallel lines
Perpendicular lines
Intersecting lines
2. Angles
Right angles
Acute angles
Obtuse angles
3. Polygons (any closed shape) - Students had to identify four polygons
Regular (all the sides are the same size)
Irregular (the sides are different lengths)
This project was harder than you think, but with a little creative thinking, we were all successful!
