Geometry Scrapbook Project

Due: on or before Friday, September 14, 2012 – at the beginning of class

This project requires you to make a scrapbook of pictures showing 30 of the geometric terms in the “real world”.

  1. Select an overall theme for your scrapbook – be creative! Choose something you like!

Examples: music, fashion, cars, T.V. show, movie, etc.

  1. Make a cover page for your project that includes

  9. You may NOT use clip art, drawings, cut outs from textbooks or library books
  10. You may NOT use the same picture twice in your scrapbook
  11. You may NOT add anything to the picture to create your term.
  12. Find the geometricaldefinitions for those 30 items (check notes, vocab folders, book, internet, etc.)
  13. Make a page for EACH term including the term, the definition, a picture of the term, some way for the reader to identify the term in your picture (highlight or draw an arrow), and the page number (see diagram below)
  14. You may NOT put more than one picture on one side of a page
  15. You may use the front and back of a sheet of paper

The following page outline should be used for each term:
