I Spy Geometry: A Book of Lines, Angles & Polygons

As one of our end-of-year projects, my students created pictures where they had to hide all of the geometry terms/symbols that they had learned during our geometry unit.  The pictures will then be turned into a class book where they can locate at least 10 of the following geometry terms in their classmates pictures:
  • rays
  • line segments
  • lines
  • parallel lines
  • perpendicular lines
  • intersecting lines
  • straight lines
  • acute angles
  • obtuse angles
  • right angles
  • scalene triangles
  • isosceles triangles
  • equilateral triangles
  • quadrilaterals
  • pentagons
  • hexagons
  • octagons
  • points
  • radius
  • diameter
  • symmetry
  • congruent shapes
Here are some student examples:

Geometry Town

One of our projects that we recently worked on is a Geometry Town.  Here are the requirements that students were given, as well as the checklist that was used to grade their final product.  I also included several student examples.  If you would like the Word version of the document, comment below with your email address and I will send it to you as an attachment.

Geometry Monsters

Now that we've completed our state/district assessments, I'm having my class do various projects to display their learning of 4th grade math concepts.  We're currently doing several projects tied to our geometry standards, including lapbooks and Geometry Towns.  Students are expected to identify an assortment of lines, angles and triangles so I went to my absolutely favorite website, Pinterest, to see what other super creative teachers had already created..  Fortunately, I found a project called Geometry Monster Glyphs that tied into our standards perfectly.  It's FREE so download it now from Teachers Pay Teachers! You can see the directions below, as well as several examples.  Can you guess which one is mine? :-)
