Geometry Project 2
Tab's Computer Generated Nets

On Computer #1 - Start the Tabs program. Create nets of an object that has two or more geometric shapes. Be sure to look at the wire and solid views. When the object is completed and colored, print and then construct.

Example: A sphere sitting on a base

Geometry Project 3
Formula Rap Song

Create a rap song that gives some of the formulas for calculating the surface area or volume of solids.

Example: The area of a circle is pi r2

Ready, OK (2 times)

Ready cube you know you have six faces and your volume is LxWxH so lets go cube and fight fight.

Ready, sphere ~ if we didn't include the volume it wouldn't be fair for the volume of a sphere is 4 pi r2.

Ready, cylinder lets go the volume is pi r2 h don't get confused its not the same pie that goes on a plate.

Create an original short story using vocabulary learned during our study of geometry.

Example: The two boys made a secret passageway to their camp using the huge concrete cylinder shaped drainage pipe that ran under the old road.

Use Microsoft Paint to create a drawing consisting of geometric shapes. Use each of the basic shapes (triangular prism, rectangular prism, cone, pyramid, cylinder, and sphere) at least once in the drawing.

Use the Image Bank to select samples of as many geometric shapes as possible. Name the object, the geometry shape(s), and barcode number. Print the barcode number using the BarKoder program.

Geometry Project 7
DVD Geometry Word Problems

Use the Rainforest DVD to find geometric shapes that are found in nature. Write the name of the object, the geometric shape, and barcode number. Use the video blackboard feature to point out the object or write a word problem about the object.

Create a new tessellation or use the shape of one you like. Trace onto paper (fill page with the repeating patter) then color.

Example: see pages 407 - 410 in your textbook
