When  Teaching  Geometry

 A;er  you  have  taught  the  lesson  in  front  of  the  classroom  

A=er  all  the  prac@ce  and  worksheets

But  BEFORE  the  Tests

Try  this  ac@vity!

•   Geometry  S.H.O.P  •  Stands  for  Geometry  Scavenger  Hunt  On  Pictures  

•  It  is  a  hands-­‐on  search  for  geometric  objects  in  real  life  •  If  you  can  get  outside,  have  your  students  locate  geometric  shapes  around  them  •  If  you  are  stuck  indoors,  have  them  search  your  classroom  •  For  more  order/convenience  and  for  those  teaching  geometry  during  the  winter  months,  pictures  may  be  used.    

 

Examples:

• No+ce  that  you  can,  and  preferably  should,  use  actual  pictures  from  your  students’  trips,  and  school  ac+vi+es.  Your  students  will  LOVE  IT!  Supplement  your  pictures  with  random  things  around  your  classroom  that  will  contain  missing  geometric  figures.  

•  Take  your  Pictures  and  photocopy  them  for  students  to  use  and  locate  geometric  objects  and  shapes.  

Partner  Work

•  For  added  fun,  have  students  work  with  a  partner  •  For  even  more  fun,  try  having  3-­‐4  students  sit  in  a  circle    

•  Loca+ng  1  object  from  a  set  list  in  the  picture  •  Cross  it  off  the  list  •  Pass  it  to  the  next  student  who  has  to  find  another  one  le;  on  the  list!    •  Keep  going  un+l  all  pass  (have  them  keep  score  if  you  wish!)
