Introduction
What are these three dimensional shapes the teacher keeps talking
about? They are everywhere? How is that possible?
I
don't see them. I'm sure these are some of the questions that
are
rolling around in your head and you need to answer them. Here
is
your opportunity to do just that, find these three dimensional figures
in the real world.
Task
Your task is to create a photo essay of the three dimensional figures
you have found at home, at school and any other location of your
choice. You will use Microsoft PowerPoint's photo album tool
or
Photoshop to create the photo essay.
Process
Select your team of four or
less.
Each person needs to share the workload. Create a duty roster
for
each team member.
Click on a name to
review 3D figures.
Make a checklist of which figures
you need to look for in this project.
Click on the names of 3D figures
to view real life examples
Watch "Real World Geometry" for real world examples of 3D geometry.
Create a list of locations for pictures.
Be sure to include buildings or natural things.
Take pictures of figures.
Transfer pictures into selected program
Add captions which tell where the picture
was taken and what the 3D figure.
Present to the class.
Evaluation
You will be evaluated on these items:
Presentation, Attractiveness, Content, Organization, Originality,
Workload.
Click evaluation rubric to open in a new
window. Print out the rubric.
Conclusion
Do you now see where three dimensional
figures
occur in the real world? I hope you will continue to see more
and
more figures in different aspects.
A new question you can think about and explore is
why
does that figure work so well with that particular item and could it work just as well with another figure.
Happy hunting and good luck.
