Spring Break Shape Hunt!


HAPPY SPRING BREAK!
I trust that everyone will have a fantastic Spring Break! Relax and enjoy time with your family! However, don’t forget about your Geometry Shape Hunt due the day you return! 


Geometry Shape Hunt
Directions: Shapes are everywhere we look! Go on a geometric shape hunt. Use one of the following suggestions to record the shapes that you found! Make sure to correctly label the shapes!  Please find at least ten different shapes. If you find more, great!

ÿ    ***Use a camera to take pictures of the shapes around you. Then, either create a power point, poster or book with the pictures you took. Don’t forget to label! 

ÿ    ***Draw pictures of the shapes you found. Example: If you found an octagon on a stop sign, draw a stop sign and label it octagon. 

ÿ    ***With permission, use old magazines to find shapes. Cut them and create a book, poster or mobile.

ÿ    ***Create an organized list. Write down what you found and what shape it is. If you chose this option, you must find at least 15 shapes.
DUE: 5-3-11

For the list of shapes, go to the following website.
