The steps you must follow to complete this project:

 

1.  Decide what geometry vocabulary you want to investigate.  You must choice ten or more.

 

2.  Once you have decided what geometry vocabularies you want to investigate begin to look up the words using Internet sources. 

 

3.  You want to locate pictures of geometric terminology and evaluated them for what they describe. 

 

4.  You also want to locate explanations or definitions of these geometric terms you found. 

 

5.  You can use the following sites to help you locate photos of these geometric terms:

 

          http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/

          http://www.mathleague.com/help/geometry/geometry.htm

          http://www.google.com  (you can search the web or images)

          http://mathworld.wolfram.com/topics/Geometry.html

          http://www.coolmath4kids.com/geometrystuff.html

          http://www.altavista.com   (you can search the web or images)

          http://homepage.mac.com/efithian/geometry.html

          http://www.yahoo.com   (you can search the web or images)

 

6.  Besides just searching for exact geometric images (example: a picture of a triangle, a line, or a ray, etc).  Try looking for real life pictures that incorporate geometric shapes/figures into them (example: lines in the middle of a road, railroad tracks, a window, etc).

 

7.  You can use the following search engines to look for real life pictures that incorporate geometry. 

 

          http://www.google.com

          http://www.yahoo.com

          http://www.altavista.com

          http://www.dogpile.com

          http://www.hotbot.com

          http://www.askjeeves.com

          http://www.alltheweb.com

 

8.  After you have located pictures using Internet resources, you must then use the classes’ digital camera to find and take photos of real life images that incorporate geometry all around us (railroad track, stop sign, etc). 

 

9.  Go out into the world around you and take photos. 

 

10.  After taking a variety of photos, go to the classroom computer and upload the photos on the computer. 

 

11.  Using the photos you located using the Internet and the photos you have taken outside the school create a PowerPoint Presentation. 

 

12.  After you have uploaded all the photos onto the PowerPoint software, create captions for each set of photos. 

 

13.  The captions must include an explanation of what is in the picture and what geometric terms are described.  You must include geometric terminology in your explanations. 

 

14.  Compile all of the information (photographs and captions) into a complete PowerPoint Presentation.   

 

15.  Please be sure to proofread and make all needed adjustments on your PowerPoint Presentation prior to class presentation day. 

 

16.  You will be presenting your PowerPoint Presentation to the class at the end of the week.  Be prepared with all of the information you want to present to the class. 

 

17.  Get a good nights sleep the night before you present. 

 

18.  Remember to have fun while collecting your photos, creating your captions, compiling your PowerPoint Presentation, and presenting your project to the class. 

 

Enjoy and have fun!!!
