1) Locate five or more circles in the classroom. Measure the parts of each circle. Analyze your data and explain in writing the relationship between the parts of a circle (radius, diameter, circumference). / 2) Create a crossword puzzle or game using at least twenty vocabulary terms from the geometry unit. Develop a plan for using your creation to teach the vocabulary terms to other students. / 3) Construct and classify models of triangles (scalene, equilateral, isosceles, equiangular, acute, obtuse, and right) using straws, Popsicle sticks, or other materials available. Label each model and justify your classifications in writing.
4) Compose and perform (via audio, video, or in person) a poem or rap that describes points, lines, rays, line segments, vertices, angles and planes. / 5) Identify an example of a transformation in the pattern of a quilt, carpet, or fabric.
a) Illustrate, photograph or sketch the example.
b) Interpret and describe in writing the transformation used to create the design. / 6) Find the minimum number of triangles formed by connecting vertices of each figure listed on the chart below. Complete the chart to discover a pattern. Determine a formula for finding the sum of the measures of the angles of a polygon with n sides. Justify the formula in writing.
Type of Polygon / Number of sides / Number of triangles / Sum of the interior angles
triangle / 3 / 1 / 180
quadrilateral
pentagon
hexagon
heptagon
octagons
7) Draft three differentdesigns for a prism-shaped candy box with a volume between 720 cm3 – 750 cm3, inclusively. Sketch and label your diagrams. / 8) Brainstorm a list of at least five careers that use measurement. Research one of these careers and create a visual presentation (poster, (PowerPoint, brochure, etc.) that explains how that career uses measurement. / 9) Propose your own geometry or measurement related enrichment challenge.
