Introduction
The Shape of Our World
Look all around you, see what you see!!!!
Those shapes from Geometry are everywhere that can be!!!
No matter where you are, you can see shapes in everyday life. Look at the keyboard in front of you, see the square and rectangle shaped keys? Notice the circle buttons, the parallel lines of the keyboard? What angles are there on the screen? Shapes are all around us in our world. In this project, you will locate different kinds of geometric shapes in the real world by participating in a scavenger hunt. It will be your challenge to design and produce a brochure that includes the examples and definitions that you find. Three of you will work on this together so "get in shape" for this hunt! You will be amazed at all the shapes around you, just open your eyes and get started!
